The asdf:run-shell-command for clisp is specified to use the output as terminal.

That makes its output unavailable to clisp.  Instead, one should have something like this: (read (ext:run-shell-command command :output :stream :wait t))

the only place where run-shell-command is used is get-uid which is implemented for clisp separately. however, it does make sense to use (ext:run-shell-command command :output (and *verbose-out* :terminal) :wait t) instead of the current code. note that clisp cannot accept arbitrary streams as :output and :input arguments here. http://www.cygwin.com/acronyms/#PTC -- Sam Steingold (http://sds.podval.org/) on gnu/linux terminal http://honestreporting.com http://jihadwatch.org http://www.memritv.org http://pmw.org.il http://iris.org.il http://mideasttruth.com MS: Brain off-line, please wait.
