It may be useful to others, if any, interested in running this CL implementation on FreeBSD 7. The problem was due to the fact that LW depends on several libraries from FreeBSD 5 and 6. Following suggestions on the LW mailing list, the right installation sequence seems to be: 1. Ensure that the kernel options `COMPAT_FREEBSD5' and `COMPAT_FREEBSD6' are on. 2. Install the ports `misc/compat5x' and `misc/compat6x'. 3. Install the package `compatXm-6.3_1.tgz'. 4. Install the package `lispworks-personal-5.1.tgz'. The packages in 3 and 4 are available from the LispWorks FTP server. There's more information in the LW Knowledge Base article at http://www.lispworks.com/kb/67634814074628b180257490005cb9d3.html and in the LW mailing list thread http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.lispworks.general/8422 which also describes some minor tweaking of LD_LIBRARY_PATH that was needed.
