Hi,

It's fine to ask here.

The file lists.lisp should be generated automatically the first time you load CL-UNICODE. As that didn't seem to happen in your case, I can only guess that there's some incompatibility in your setup. What for example is the version of ASDF you are using?

Maybe someone else on this list has an idea?

Cheers, Edi.

Hi I'm Hiroshi.

I want to use CL-EMB on sbcl. But in the installation, I get error for CL-UNICODE. I have been installed correctly last year. May be beginning of December is OK. In these days, this problem occured.

[environment]  * Ubuntu Linux 10.04 lucid  * SBCL 1.0.29.11.debian

[procedure] $rm -rf .sbcl $sbcl

(require :asdf) (require :asdf-install) (asdf-install:install :cl-unicode)

choose "Personal installation" choose [SKIP-GPG-CHECK] for cl-unicode choose [SKIP-GPG-CHECK] again for cl-ppcre

Then this message appears.

debugger invoked on a SB-INT:SIMPLE-FILE-ERROR in thread #<THREAD "initial thread" RUNNING {AA5E589}>:  failed to find the WRITE-DATE of /home/test/.sbcl/site/cl-unicode-0.1.1/lists.lisp:    No such file or directory

Type HELP for debugger help, or (SB-EXT:QUIT) to exit from SBCL.

(SB-IMPL::SIMPLE-FILE-PERROR  "failed to find the WRITE-DATE of ~A"  #P"/home/test/.sbcl/site/cl-unicode-0.1.1/lists.lisp"  2) =================================================================

And I have made a backup of .sbcl last year. So I copied "lists.lisp" to /home/test/.sbcl/site/cl-unicode-0.1.1/ Do above process (except for rm) again. Then installation have finished correctly.

How can I install CL-UNICODE without copy lists.lisp? Or why this problem occurs.

I don't know that asking here is correct or not. But I don't know well about lisp communities.

Sincerely, Hiroshi
