Hi, I just installed CMUCL 20e on my Mac OS X 10.8.5. CMUCL 20e release notes say that it comes with ASDF 3.0.2. My .cmucl-init.lisp file looks like this: (setf (logical-pathname-translations "costanza") `(("**;*.fasl.*" ,(format nil "/Users/costanza/.cache/common-lisp/~A ~A/**/*.fasl" (lisp-implementation-type) (lisp-implementation-version))) ("**;*.*.*" "/Users/costanza/**/*.*"))) ;;; The following lines added by ql:add-to-init-file: #-quicklisp (let ((quicklisp-init (merge-pathnames "quicklisp/setup.lisp" (user-homedir-pathname)))) (when (probe-file quicklisp-init) (load quicklisp-init))) When I start CMUCL, I see this: ; Loading #P"/Users/costanza/.cmucl-init.lisp". ;; Loading #P"/Users/costanza/quicklisp/setup.lisp". ;;; Loading #P"/Users/costanza/lib/cmucl/lib/contrib/asdf/asdf.sse2f".
