Hello,
I encounter a problem trying to download babel using quicklisp.
I am on debian squeeze and I use the last version of sbcl 1.0.55 that I
downloaded 5mns ago from the website, together with a fresh install of
quicklisp. I can reproduce the error using the version of sbcl 1.0.40
in the debian repositories.
The relevant part of the log which is attached to this message seems to be
* (ql:quickload "babel")
To load "babel":
Load 1 ASDF system:
babel
; Loading "babel"
; file: /home/harven/.quicklisp/dists/quicklisp/software/babel-20120208-git/src/enc-unicode.lisp

;
; caught ERROR:

A similar error has been reported on github
https://github.com/cl-babel/babel/issues/9
where it was suggested to run the command
(alexandria:format-symbol t '#:~a-code-point-counter "UTF16")
Here is what I get.
* (ql:quickload "alexandria")
To load "alexandria":

Any help ?
