I ran into this same problem (I think it was either in Lucid or
Lispworks or both) so I worked around it by defining some stubs:

#+clim-1
(defmethod clim::maybe-set-color ((stream clim::postscript-stream) 
                                  (ink clim-utils::pattern))
  nil)

#+clim-2
(defmethod postscript-clim::maybe-set-color ((stream postscript-clim::postscript-medium) 
                                             (ink clim-utils::pattern))
  nil)

This is obviously not a long term solution.
