Hmm - seems like your code doesn't even compile in my setup (GNU/Linux,
Ubuntu Feisty with SBCL-1.0.10.debian and a rather fresh CFFI checkout.
This (from cffi-portmidi.lisp) already triggers an error:

 (cffi:define-foreign-type pm-message () ':long)

In DEFCLASS PM-MESSAGE, the slot name :LONG is a keyword.
   [Condition of type SB-INT:SIMPLE-PROGRAM-ERROR]

The ': sequence smells like autogenerated code. What's going on here?

BTW, I think you can simplify your library loading code - you don't need
to loop through a list of possible library locations. CFFI provides code
for doing this already. Just do:

 (pushnew "/usr/local/lib/" cffi:*foreign-library-directories* :test
#'equal)

and then:

 (cffi:load-forreign-library "libportmidi.so"(

(Unfortunately one still needs to conditionalize in the file type, but I
guess that could/should be fixed in CFFI).

 Cheers, RalfD
