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. Maybe i just don't know how to use library in lisp, and i'm using clisp.

What error are you getting?

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)
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.

Advice appreciated.
What error are you getting?

Maybe i just don't know how to use library in lisp, and i'm using

Yes, after i use asdf-install and asdf:load-system, i can use it, still how
asdf works...
Or you could try using Quicklisp:
$ wget http://beta.quicklisp.org/quicklisp.lisp $ clisp cluser> (load "quicklisp.lisp") cluser> (ql:quickload :cl-ppcre )
I will have a try, thanks for your response.

Ah-ha! I bet that CLISP's (require :foo) is just a thin wrapper over (load "foo.lisp"), instead of being a thin wrapper over (asdf:oos asdf:'load-op :foo).
Yes, after i use asdf-install and asdf:load-system, i can use it, still how asdf works...
I bet just asdf on its own would have worked. You could remove the version you installed and see if it uses the Debian package version instead.
Or you could try using Quicklisp:
$ wget http://beta.quicklisp.org/quicklisp.lisp $ clisp cluser> (load "quicklisp.lisp") cluser> (ql:quickload :cl-ppcre )

Quicklisp is really, really nice. I have to second Peter's recommendation. Where it supports a package, it tends to be very reliable.

No, maybe it's weird, but after i remove Debian package, i can not use asdf:load-system any longer...What a myth.
