It's a CLISP issue.  For CLISP we always return "Cannot find ...".  We
could probably do a bit better in a few cases: for functions for which
M-. works.  But so far nobody was motivated to implemented that.
(M-. also doesn't very well for CLISP, because CLISP doesn't record
much source-location information.)

The show-source command works better in e.g. CMUCL or Lispworks.

Helmut.
