Hi,

We have been using scigraph successfully on Solaris for some time.
However, the copy that is out on the repository site is out of date. The
package was donated by BBN and I know that the person responsible has
probably tried to update the repository but perhaps had problems.
Anyway, the DWIM package modifies the CLIM-LISP package and the error
you are getting is just complaining about that. ACL 4.3.1 has a global
variable (the name eludes me right now) that will turn off the error and
make it a warning.

I will prod the person at BBN that takes care of this package about
updating it. It is a very good package and I know that BBN has continued
to maintain it.

Mike
