It seems that ASDF 2.x doesn't work with RMCL (ASDF 1.x did). Is that a known issue?
What is RMCL? Digitool's MCL? It might very well have bitrotten, since I don't think anyone has tried it since we started working on ASDF 2. I certainly don't have access to a machine capable of running it.
RMCL is being maintained, is available from http://code.google.com/p/mcl/ and runs on current Mac OS X versions. (This is just for information, not a hidden attempt to convince anyone to do the work to make ASDF 2 support it.)
Look for places with #+clozure, and test the functions individually, making sure you have proper code with #+digitool. Also, some places may incorrectly be using #+ccl where #+clozure is meant, and even where it works, it is probably better to use #+(or clozure digitool).
I would be particularly wary of functions created in recent refactorings, such as SUBDIRECTORIES.
If you get it to work, please provide a patch, which I will apply. Also, it is nice if you can run the test suite.
I'll see what I can do, but cannot promise anything for the short run.
Thanks for the quick response!

I just grabbed this, dropped it onto my Mac, and I can't even get it to agree to load .lisp files. PROBE-FILE fails to find files that palpably exist, and when I bring up the load menu, RMCL refuses to open .lisp files.
Does this expect to work with some antiquated Mac file system or something? Can't find any documentation.
Time permitting, I might be willing to see about getting ASDF patched for this, but need at least a pointer to how to run this beast.
