Install quicklisp on clisp failed

[namoamitabha]

I'm using clisp. And it is failed to install quicklisp.

OS: centos7
clisp: version 2.49
here is log for your reference:

Sorry, I don't know what might cause this. Do you have trouble on other implementations as well?

[fouric]

This also fails on my CLISP as well, which is the same (and latest) version, 2.49. As I (1) am using another operating system (Ubuntu 16.04) and (2) have successfully installed Quicklisp on SBCL, I think that this is actually a bug.

[quicklisp]

A bug in what? Are you able to troubleshoot from the core file?

[guycali]

Same here. Here's the core dump...

With recent versions of macOS and CLISP, this should be fixed. I used to get that core dump but no longer do. I'm on macOS Mojave 10.14.6 and installed the latest CLISP (2.49_2) from Homebrew. So, from scratch:

$ brew install clisp wget
$ wget https://beta.quicklisp.org/quicklisp.lisp -O ~/quicklisp.lisp
$ clisp
> (load "~/quicklisp.lisp")
> (quicklisp-quickstart:install)
> (ql:add-to-init-file)

And that all works like normal. The thrown exception that used to happen may have been related to the following issue (which seems to have been resolved):
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/quicklisp/GqKji8RyHR8
#32

To install certain libraries from Quicklisp using CLISP, a newer version of ASDF is required (or at least fixes any issues for me). Relates to #114 and #187

$ wget https://common-lisp.net/project/asdf/archives/asdf.lisp -O ~/quicklisp/asdf.lisp
$ clisp -norc -c ~/quicklisp/asdf.lisp
$ rm -rf ~/.cache/common-lisp ~/quicklisp/cache # some people were recommending this step

And then I'm able to install more involved libraries, e.g. plump:

$ clisp
> (ql:quickload :plump)

Thank you so much I was finally able to get it to run after encountering so many errors of CLISP not finding the file.

Although it might be easier for humans to locate open issues, I believe the closed ones still do get indexed by search engines; thus, it would be awesome if @namoamitabha would confirm that the failure has been resolved, and close the issue!
