No, it is not normal.  It used to work and has been working for quite a long time, at least that is what I thought.

I am not a regular user of QuickLisp but I do have it (an old version probably) in my default MKCL startup configuration (~/.mkclrc file).  I admit that it has also been a very long time since I did a fresh reinstall of QuickLisp on a recent MKCL.

Could you be a bit more specific on the symptoms you are witnessing? What version of MKCL was this?

What were you trying to do with QuickLisp (version also?) and what were the exact error messages it produced?

Thanks,
