Common Lisp and ASDF-install

I decided today that I would learn lisp. Why? I don't know, it just looks interesting with it's S-expressions. I got clisp installed but i can't get ASDF-install working. Any help?

Don't bother, IMO. Just download the library you want (possibly from CVS or SVN), put it wherever you like, then put a symlink to the .asd file in some directory, and ensure that that directory is in asdf:*central-registry*.

Glad to help. Figuring out how to install libraries was the biggest hurdle for me when I started with Lisp.

I've never been impressed by ASDF or ASDF-Install. I think a lot of people will start using Mudballs in the near future, and we'll be able to forget the whole thing. Hopefully so.
