Looks like you're not in the CCL package.  If you don't want to do (in- 
package "CCL") before building the application, you'll need to say  
CCL::BUILD-APPLICATION instead, since BUILD-APPLICATION isn't external.

Also, note that :nibfiles (not :nib-files) is the correct keyword  
parameter.

Hope that helps.
