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 ; in: DEFINE-UTF-16 :UTF-16 ; (BABEL-ENCODINGS::DEFINE-UTF-16 :UTF-16) ; ; caught ERROR: ; (during macroexpansion of (DEFINE-UTF-16 :UTF-16)) ; #:~A-CODE-POINT-COUNTER fell through ETYPECASE expression. ; Wanted one of (STRING SIMPLE-STRING). [...] Any help ?
First update quicklisp to dist 2012-03-07, then try again -- Stelian Ionescu a.k.a. fe[nl]ix Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur. http://common-lisp.net/project/iolib
