Hello everybody,
please maybe someone have an experience
with Elephant(berkeley db) on SBCL and
Debian testing.
I get a lot of fatal errors while compiling
Elephant from source and can't find asdf or debian package.

Thanks ,
dmitry

What can we do about it without the text of the errors you're getting?

You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most
famous is, "Never get involved in a land war in Asia", but only
slightly less well-known is this: "Never go in against a Sicilian when

I did not meant to get such deep into it.
But as requested:
1.I download version 0.5 from http://common-lisp.net/project/elephant/

2.It makes compiled without errors in ~/elephant

3.I copied ~/elephant to /usr/share/common-lisp/source/elephant 

4.Make link from /usr/share/common-lisp/source/elephant/     
to /usr/share/common-lisp/systems/ for elephant.asd elephant-bdb.asd
elephant-test.asd

5.Then with slime-repl sbcl:

cl-user> (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :elephant)
=>...
=>Nil
cl-user> (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :ele-bdb)
=>; loading system definition from
=>; /usr/share/common-lisp/systems/ele-bdb.asd into #<PACKAGE "ASDF1090">
=>; registering #<SYSTEM ELE-BDB {AF711B9}> as ELE-BDB

hrm.. Are you aware that mysql has a berkleyDB kernel option?

(mysql 5.0 is worth looking into anyhow. There are some major improvements  
there.
Transaction control (Olap) is default. It has stored procedures,
triggers, views, kernel option for distributed databases, etc.)
