[Openmcl-devel] CLOS implementation weirdness?

[Dirk Eßer]

The problem seems to be, that CCL defines a class LOCK already, which is 
accessible in package CL-USER (the current package right after starting 
the lisp). Due to this, you are not defining a new class, but trying to 
redefine the existing class (which fails).

To start with a clean package (i.e., only symbols, which the CLHS 
mandates), try

? (defpackage "FOO" (:use "COMMON-LISP"))
#<Package "FOO">
? (in-package "FOO")
#<Package "FOO">
? (defclass lock ()
   ((name :initarg :name :reader lock-name))
   (:documentation "The foundation of all locks."))
#<STANDARD-CLASS LOCK>

Cheers,
Dirk
