I alwayse receive  the error message:
READ from #<INPUT STRING-INPUT-STREAM>: there is no package with name
#1="ASDF-INSTALL"

in lispbox (gigamonkeys) with Clisp preinstalled and adsf pre loaded.
(Win32)

I tried to load more then 30 libs n i always received this message and
just this message:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
READ from #<INPUT STRING-INPUT-STREAM>: there is no package with name
#1="ASDF-INSTALL"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
when i write for example:
(asdf-install:install "http://weitz.de/files/cl-ppcre.tar.gz")
or local tgz or many other libs...

I read tutorial  "http://common-lisp.net/project/asdf-install/tutorial/
install.html" but Im going nut.

I was  a Z80 coder 25 years ago, i can install easily a PLT Planet
package or compile python with mingw....
I cannot load ANY Lisp lib...
Any Suggest? (witxh to Linux?)

If ASDF-INSTALL isn't there, maybe it really isn't there?

I'd guess you need to install it.

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

See there: 'Installing ASDF-INSTALL'

Make hot water. Put some green tea leaves into a glass. Add the hot
water. Wait a few moments.
Drink the tea. Relax a few moments.

Reread the error message. Install the missing ASDF component.
