Removal: https://github.com/sbcl/sbcl/commit/e103be077521e5f8918da7e346df6946157e5912

Same error on Manjaro Linux

Using sbcl-bin/2.1.1 as temporal fix

[Rirush]

On sbcl/2.1.6, a different symbol seems to be missing. Tested it on Windows and macOS, missing in both cases. Also, it seems that it's impossible to install sbcl-bin/2.1.1 on (macOS) ARM, because binaries are missing. Source build fails as well.

Having the exact same error as Rirush on sbcl/2.2.4. lispnik's solution doesn't work for me so i switched to sbcl-bin/2.1.1. Anyone got a solution yet?

@fuku77 I tried it from my repo just now with sbcl 2.2.4 and it seems to work

Using sbcl-bin/2.1.1 as temporal fix

In case, like me, somebody else doesn't know howto downgrade sbcl

ros install sbcl/2.1.1
ros install sbcl-bin/2.1.1
ros use sbcl/2.1.1
ros use sbcl-bin/2.1.1
