i tried to get the examples for clx that come with cmucl to run, 
but it seems that there's no symbols in the xlib package. 
list-all-packages returns  
#<The XLIB package, 1/2 internal, 1/2 external>
, so i assume i forgot to set up something.

any help appreciated ;-)

CLX is distributed as a separate module which you need to load
explicitly. (This is also the case of CLM, the Motif interface, and
Hemlock, the emacs-like editor.) Make sure you downloaded and
installed the "extra" tarball for your platform, then say

  (load "library:subsystems/clx-library")
