Seeing as how it has been a while since the origional posting here has anyone found a solution yet?? any advice is much appreciated.

It seems to be unable to find it. I think maybe I'm just not specifiying its path correctly with --with-libsigsegv-prefix=/opt/local/lib. Any ideas?

If you could stand to use Scheme, you'd have options. One of the reasons I use scheme is that there are multiple, high-quality, portable free versions. I've not run into problems where I need the speed of stuff compiled to machine code though, which might be your case. Does it have to be CL? If you could stand to use Scheme, you’d have options.

The Lisp distributions, however, do <a href="http://article.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.openmcl.devel/1067" rel="nofollow">strange</a> <a href="http://www.clozure.com/pipermail/openmcl-devel/2006-January/003127.html" rel="nofollow">things</a> with precise register state exceptions, which the Rosetta emulation doesn't (yet) support. Give it a few days, and I expect SBCL and CMUCL to be updated. I've already gotten a possible fix for libsigsegv from John Wiseman. I'm running FFView, Desktop Manager, NetNewsWire, Ecto, etc, all under emulation now and things work perfect. Azureus (Java bittorrent client) has issues, but someone just needs to rebuild it for OSX/Intel and it should be fine. WeatherPop Advance works fine as well, and FFmpegX worked when I tested it. The *only* things I'm not able to run so far, basically, are Azureus and SBCL/CMUCL. Oh – Rosetta works *great* for most everything I’ve thrown at it.
