[Openmcl-devel] (require :cocoa) fails with ccl 1.2rc1 in write-protected directory

[Gail Zacharias]

Good point.  You can work around it by setting 
ccl::*cocoa-application-path* before doing the require (see 
ccl:cocoa-ide;cocoa.lisp).  But really, there is no reason in the 
world why the temp bundle shouldn't go in a temp directory by 
default, I just didn't think of it at the time!
