For lisp libraries you should strongly prefer quicklisp to asdf-install and probably to the Debian packages. If you have troubles with that you can probably get some help from #quicklisp on irc.freenode.net.

Hi, there , excuse me for asking this stupid question, but I'm fresh to common-lisp. I knew from http://weitz.de/cl-ppcre/#install that debian can install cl-ppcre from native package, so I use "apt-get install cl-ppcre" to install, and there are no problem during installation, but i don't know how to use it at all, should i just require from REPL? But it get a error.
What error are you getting?
Maybe i just don't know how to use library in lisp, and i'm using clisp.
Once you have a library installed, it should be this easy:
cl-user> (require :cl-ppcre)
If that's generating an error, it's possible that the Debian package has problems. You could try using ASDF-INSTALL to install it:
cl-user> (require :asdf-install) cl-user> (asdf-install:install :cl-ppcre)
Or you could try using Quicklisp:
$ wget http://beta.quicklisp.org/quicklisp.lisp $ clisp cluser> (load "quicklisp.lisp") cluser> (ql:quickload :cl-ppcre)
