Slime and Trace

Hello,

I'm not very experienced with Slime/Emacs. Until now I have used Lisp
Box with CLisp. But the Lisp Boxes use an old version of Slime and
changed options in Emacs cannot be saved.

So I tried to install a Slime/Emacs package on my own (on Mac OS X)
with the help of the following link:

http://blog.zenzoa.com/articles/search?q=installing


This link suggests to use OpenMCL so I tried a "new" lisp.

The problem that I have now is that "Trace" does not work properly.

If I use this feature the Tracer only prints the first calling of my
traced function and the last returen value (of a recursive function).

I'm not able to inspect the callings and values of the several steps in
a recursive function as I could with my Lisp Box-Installation. It
printed: 1. Trace, 2. Trace and so on.

So my question is:
Is it a problem of my installation or is it a problem of OpenMCL?

Thanks in advance for your answer.
