Does OpenDX work using the command "dx" from the shell on which femlisp is
started?  The configuration of the DX via shell variables is not yet
correctly taken into account in the current Femlisp version.  A patch in
"femlisp:src;femlisp-config.lisp" should look about as follows:

(defparameter *dx-path*
  (or
   #+cmu (let ((string (cdr (assoc :OPENDX_BINARY ext:*environment-list*))))
           (when string
             (probe-file (pathname string))))
   (probe-file (pathname "path:dx")))
  "The path to the Data Explorer executable.")

Then you can set the environment variable OPENDX_BINARY in the shell where
Femlisp is started.  (Alternatively, you could set *dx-path* in
"femlisp:src;femlisp-config.lisp" to whatever you want.)

If this does not help: What does backtrace say (type "backtrace" or "ba" at
the debugger prompt)?
