Is there a way to get CLISP compiled with dynamic FFI support on Mac OS?

I am using clisp 2.48 (2009-07-28) on Mac OS X 10.6.4. I downloaded clisp using 'sudo port install clisp'.

After installing quick lisp, I installed some packages, and most of them are fine.

However, when I tried to install "sqlite", I received the following error.

  [1]> (ql: quickload "sqlite")
 To load "sqlite":
   Load 1 ASDF system:
     sqlite
 ;  Loading "sqlite"
 [package cffi-sys]
 *** - CFFI requires CLISP compiled with dynamic FFI support.

It says that my clisp installed with a Mac port does not support FFI.

Is there a way to get CLISP compiled with dynamic FFI support on Mac OS X?

I'm at 10.4, so I had to install ffcall as well - I don't know if you already installed it. When installing clisp, I added + dynffi to the end, and it worked for me.

sudo port install ffcall
sudo port install clisp +dynffi
