Can you try loading these via the Lisp LOAD function? i.e.
:lisp (load "foo.lisp")
You might have to try load(linearalgebra); then :lisp (load ...)
because other stuff is loaded before the files mentioned above;
dunno if that is necessary.

Dunno what's going on there.

Well, I guess I'd recommend pretty stronly to build ECL with
default options, in the interest of getting consistent results
between installations (yours & everyone else's).

I guess MSVC means Windows, right? Can you build a 32-bit Windows
installer too?

Thanks very much for your help,
