Looking at the cm installation instructions, one needs this file to
activate osc:

http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/commonmusic/osc-1.0.1.tar.gz

The files in this tgz doesnt seem to be inside the ccrma cm rpms.

I tried installing this manually in the same place as the other cm
packages. I then tried (use-system :osc)

First I get a permission error about fasl files. I then chmod the dir,
an I proceed beyond that. Then i get:

Lock on package SB-ALIEN violated when defining SB-ALIEN::UDP-SOCKET
as a class

which I dont really understand.
