Hi Angelo,

yes, but that was xindy-2.3 (now xindy-old) whereas now that is xindy-2.4
(former xindy-new) whith a different configure.ac.

That's exactly what we got, but we have no clisp for cygwin.

That should have been (princ *lib-directory*).

Please also try:
   /tmp/clisp/clisp-build/clisp -q -norc -x '(progn (princ *lib-directory*) (values))'
and look whether the output is one line or two lines.
