[Openmcl-devel] specify different directories for .cdb files?

[Rick Taube]

is it possible to use .cdb files from a directory other than under 
"ccl:darwin-headers;" ?
I tried resolving my "ccl:darwin-headers;gtk2;" to a differnet 
directory by adding a translation using 
ccl::add-logical-pathname-translation .It works in the sense that 
probe-file and directory can find things, but simply adding a 
translation doesnt seem to be sufficient to actually use the interface. 
I was hoping I could keep users from having to install stuff under ccl.

;; this is what I used:

(ccl::add-logical-pathname-translation
  "ccl"
  (list "darwin-headers;gtk2;*.*"
        (make-pathname :name :wild :type :wild
                       :directory
                       (append (pathname-directory *load-truename*)
                               (list "openmcl"))
                       :defaults *load-truename*)))
