Ah, i see. Recompilation works fine.

Hmm, somehow this seems to be no problem here:

 ralf at hobbes:/LISP/OpenMCL/ccl$ ./ppccl 
 Welcome to OpenMCL Version 1.0-test-050914 (LinuxPPC32)!
 ? (lisp-implementation-version)
 "Version 1.0-test-050914 (LinuxPPC32)"
 ? 

What problems hould i expect?

Thank's foe that quick fix. I'll try to do some testing. BTW, one thing
i repeatedly had problems with recently: OpenMCL's *features* still
contains :MCL and :MCL-COMMON-MOP-SUBSET. Since MCL and OpenMCL seem to
be rather different at this point i wonder if it would be possible to
admit this in the feature list as well.
