I downloaded lispbox with sbcl for mac.
I'm trying to use asdf-install, but I get an error message that the
package asdf-install is undefined.

So how do you install "asdf-install" package? According to this
tutorial:

http://common-lisp.net/project/asdf-install/tutorial/setup.html

you don't need to install asdf on sbcl.

And I did type in (require 'asdf) and (require 'asdf-install)

So according to the tutorial:
"You're now ready to use ASDF-INSTALL."
But apparently not.

What step am I missing here?
Thanks.

You must use this first:

   (require 'asdf-install)

Then you can do stuff like:

   (asdf-install:install 'skippy)

As I said: I did type
(require 'asdf-install)
It did not work.

If you typed (require 'asdf-install) in sbcl, and then you got an
error message that the package asdf-install is undefined when you
tried to use it, then (require 'asdf-install) didn't complete
successfully, or you aren't using asdf-install correctly.

Could you provide a short transcript of a sbcl session where you type:

  (require 'asdf)
  (require 'asdf-install)
  (asdf-install:install 'skippy)

Any error messages may be enlightening.

Thanks for looking at this.

I'm running sbcl from emacs in latest lispbox on an ibook G3 running
10.4.10.

(require 'asdf) and (require 'asdf-install) both return nil

CL-USER> (asdf-install:install 'parenscript)

returns

Perhaps it's a glitch in lispbox. If (require 'asdf-install) returns,
there should be an asdf-install package available at that point.

Instead of using REQUIRE for ASDF-INSTALL, do this:

(require 'asdf)
(asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op :asdf-install)
(asdf-install:install 'parenscript)

You should get a nastygram from the load, which might help folks
troubleshoot it.

I tried to install sbcl without lispbox and got an error message that
it couldn't find gnu make. SO I installed xcode and then installation
of sbcl went smoothly (I think). Now asdf install doesn't complain
about asdf:install package not being found but now I have a different
error:


* (require 'asdf)

It almost looks as though there's a directory where ASDF-INSTALL expects
to find the tarball.  I _think_ it downloads into the current
directory--perhaps you already have a directory named parenscript?  Do
this:

  find / -iname parenscript -print

And see what it turns up; if it looks likely to be conflicting, there's
your problem.

I tried installing cl-ppcre with asdf-install and that works.
Something must be wrong with parenscript.asd
