It seems that your OpenMCL installation is not quite complete.  You
also need the "cdb" files.  The cdb files contain the prototypes of
many common C functions and SWANK needs some of those.  See also
<http://clozure.com/pipermail/openmcl-devel/2004-February/001424.html>

To test that the cdb files just type

 (#_getpid) 

into OpenMCL (without Emacs).  This should return the process id.  If
something is wrong with your setup, you will get an error message as
above.
