I am getting complaints about a library that I maintain, which is loaded using ASDF, from CLISP users.
These aren't bugs with my system, but when they try to bring up ASDF to load it... fail. This has to do with this error:
#<PACKAGE POSIX> has no external symbol with name "UID"
I believe there is a CLISP ticket about this.
The problem is that the version of CLISP distributed with Ubuntu 10.4 and the one distributed with OpenSUSE 11.2 both are too old to have this fix.
It seems like it would be A Good Thing if ASDF2 could be made compatible with Ubuntu and OpenSUSE.
Is there an easy work-around for this that we could patch into the current version of ASDF2?
Cheers, r
OK, I found a system with an old debian installation with CLISP 2.44.1 and fixed it.
Also stopped exporting controversial utilities from ASDF. Sigh.
Here goes 2.126.
