[CM] How do I reference a network share?

The cm command was a typo on my part (sorry).  The 2 commands are 
identical.  In cm, (lisp-implementation-version) gives:
"Version (Alpha: Darwin) 0.14-031108"

In dppccl:
"Version (Beta: Darwin) 0.14.2-p1)

So, that would seem to be one difference.  I may have downloaded OpenMCL 
from SourceForge (thinking that it was necessary).  Is there a way to tell 
CM which one to use?  Is there a way to tell where each one is?
