Running Tutorial01 code causes the following message to be displayed:

This is SBCL 1.3.10, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp.

  SDL Error (-1): SDL not built with haptic (force feedback) support

Tested with SBCL 1.3.10 compiled to use threads on Freebsd 11.0-Release

I recompiled SDL2 ensuring that haptic feedback was enable and still get the same error.

Could you try loading SDL2 using "(ql:quickload :sdl2)" and see if you get the same error?

CL-USER> (ql:quickload '(sdl2 clinch))
To load "sdl2":
Load 1 ASDF system:
sdl2
; Loading "sdl2"

To load "clinch":
Load 1 ASDF system:
clinch
; Loading "clinch"

(SDL2 CLINCH)
CL-USER> (clinch:init)
<SB-THREAD:THREAD "Main Clinch Thread" RUNNING {1004C33373}>

Same Haptic Feedback error comes up too.

Doesn't look like it did it. I'll keep messing around with it.

You might try to quickload sdl2/examples and run them; afair CL sdl2 requires haptic feedback.
