Install GSLL on SBCL with Quicklisp

I am trying to install the GNU Scientific Library for Lisp (GSLL). I saw there are answers to a similar question already, but I didn't find the connection to what is happening in my case.

Could anyone help to move on from here?

CL-USER> (lisp-implementation-type)
"SBCL"
CL-USER> (lisp-implementation-version)
"1.2.4.debian"

CL-USER> (ql:quickload "gsll")

I am on OS X, but maybe this helps you anyway. I could load the lib by (ql:quickload "gsll") but I had to make an adjustment:

The path to GSLs dynamic libraries is found by a shell call gsl-config --prefix.

For me this call returns /usr/local/Cellar/gsl/1.16 but my dynlibs are located in /usr/local/Cellar/gsl/1.16/lib. So I just had to make some adjustments to the pathnames in the file ~/quicklisp/dists/quicklisp/software/gsll-20140211-git/init/init.lisp.

Seach for (cffi:define-foreign-library libgslcblas ...) and (cffi:define-foreign-library libgsl ...) and adjust your paths there.

Maybe that helps.
