(Doesn't cmucl issue any warnings about that?) Second, I think you need 2 separate eval-whens: one to load it, one to install it. That works for me. You may also want to add :execute, if you're just loading the file instead of compiling and loading. Finally, a bug. If you compile the file, and then load the compiled file in a fresh lisp, you get an error about the series package not existing. This is an issue in cmucl. Do (setf c::top-level-lambda-max 0) before compiling the file. (This is supposed to speed up fasl loading, I think.) Ray
