From Greg Bennett running ccl64 under linux Mint 17.1
I sent a message to Zach Beane but I'm not sure whether ql pulls stuff or mcclim pushes, hence this somewhat belated message.
Last night I updated ccl64 and ran (ql::update-all-dists), which exited without incident. Before the updates mmclim, quickloaded correctly.
I restarted ccl64 and then I tried (require 'mcclim) which broke with the message:
ASDF could not load mcclim because Component ASDF/USER::OPTICL-CORE not found, required by #<SYSTEM "retrospectiff">.
Thx for any advice and assistance
Cheers /Greg Bennett

This works fine here. FWIW ASDF hooks into require mechanism, but that doesn't mean, that ASDF will download dependencies with Quicklisp. Opticl-CORE needs to be present on system if you want to have require work (or `(asdf:require-system …)`).
Please try first to
(ql:quickload 'mcclim)
That should download OptiCL (with OptiCL-core), and after that you will be able to issue (require 'mcclim) again on any image which has ASDF configured to use Quicklisp-downloaded systems.
Loading McCLIM works fine here that way (I've updated dists to verify that).
