Thanks for all the help.  After dealing with the distractions of life
and finally getting round to trying out the advice above, I can
(require :celtk) without any errors.  Now though, when I try to run
the test program (ctk:ltktest), I get following backtrace

Backtrace:
  0: (SB-KERNEL::UNDEFINED-ALIEN-FUNCTION-ERROR)
  1: ("foreign function: call_into_lisp")
  2: ("foreign function: funcall0")
  3: ("foreign function: undefined_alien_function")

Yes once I'd downloaded all the pre-requisites, togl installed fine and at
least some of their demos work (my display doesn't support the overlay
script and index/stereo cause X errors).

....and now I've got some of the celtk demos running too!  The gears one
came first (thankyou Peter), closely followed by the ltktest-ci.  I
had to remove
references to SystemButtonFace, because my tk didn't recognize that symbol.
I just changed changed them to "white" which seems to work ok.

Now I just have to learn cells :-)
