I managed to make it compile, and it seems it was a system definition problem. I attach here the fixed file, the fixes are documented through comments, just search for FIX and MOVED :)
Now I have another problem. when i run vial (with (vial:vial)), the editor opens, but when i try to write something it prints out (lots of) garbage, that seems something like the interpreter's output. Example garbage is shown in the other attached file, garbage.txt Let me know if it's somewhat "forbidden" to send attachments here, and how to send (supposed to be) fixes and patches :)
Ah. The output is debugging that goes to out *standard-output*. I have developed Vial using Slime and Emacs as a debugger. Slime rebinds the standard output and error streams, so for me that output appears in Slime. I would suggest that for right now developing by using Slime as a REPL and debugger is probably a good idea. Otherwise, you can rebind those streams (to NIL?) so that they don't output to the screen.
Also, I appear to have a bug - the very first time that Vial runs the screen doesn't refresh until a key is pressed. I haven't figured out why that is yet :)
Thanks for the updated vial.asd - I'm also a noob with ASDF, so for right now I'm not worried about doing it "right", just that it works.
I don't mind patches and files being sent here as attachments, but I would prefer that patches are created with darcs and are attached with a commit comment. I've not used darcs over email that much, but it should work pretty well.
Also, if you wouldn't mind posting at the bottom when you reply I would appreciate it :)
