Hello all,

I meet a guide to setup cells-gtk from
http://www.washbear-network.de/peterblog/getting-started-with-cells-gtk/.
I am appreciated this tutorial. During compiling, I have tried to do
very carefully. But I compile step by step:
(require 'cells)
....
(require 'gtk-ffi)

Below is the error:
erred while invoking #<COMPILE-OP NIL {C0FF871}> on
#<CL-SOURCE-FILE "gtk-threads" {A8DE591}>
   [Condition of type ASDF:COMPILE-FAILED]

I hope that receiving your help as soon as possile.

Thank in advance.

Unfortunately that error is ASDF (the build tool) saying rather 
uselessly that that source file had a compilation error, and that is the 
error you have to find in the mess of output created by ASDF. So if you 
can re-run look for the earlier error (not anything from ASDF).

No harm posting issues here, but you really should also try the 
cells-gtk list.

Some further examination reveals the cells-gtk creates symbols in the
keyword package which annoys CFFI.  I've posted to the SBCL mailing list
for a possible fix which might help you on CLISP too.
