Rapberries are usually happier with a bit of lime than most other stuff They prefer a neutral soil (ph 7) whilst other veggies (apart from brassicas) prefer around about 6.5ph (erring on the acid side)
Just wondered why you think they have lime induced chlorosis? Have you got very alkaline soil Peanut?

I would have thought that if the foliage is looking a bit yellow and veined a light sprinkling of Sulphate of Ammonia will not only green them up but help to acidify the soil.
