Hello Oscar,
Before trying to guess anything, I would like to know versions of ASDF, SBCL and Quicklisp. Could you show the output of following form:
(list (asdf:asdf-version) (lisp-implementation-version) (ql:dist-version "quicklisp") (ql:where-is-system :mcclim))

Hello, I am just starting to work with Common Lisp user interface development tools. I’m running SBCL, SLIME, in EMACS on a Mac using High Sierra 10.13.6. I’m trying to use quicklisp to load McClim. When I execute (ql:quickload :mcclim) I get the following error:
Circular dependency: ((#<ASDF/FIND-SYSTEM:DEFINE-OP > . #<ASDF/SYSTEM:SYSTEM "esa-mcclim">)) [Condition of type ASDF/ACTION:CIRCULAR-DEPENDENCY]
Here is the stack trace:

Can anyone point me to a solution? Thanks. Sincerely, Oscar Chappel
