</span>Quicklisp does not look at XDG environment variables. The intent is that<br>
if no sufficiently-new ASDF is already loaded, it will try to compile to<br>
a fasl file in ~/quicklisp/cache/asdf-fasls/<hash>/.<br>
<br>
I was going to suggest loading a sufficiently new ASDF before trying to<br>
load the quicklisp/setup.lisp file.<br>
<br>
However, now that I look at the Quicklisp setup code, I see that it<br>
*unconditionally* does (ensure-directories-exist ...) on the asdf fasl<br>
cache directory, even though it should only be done if Quicklisp needs<br>
to compile its own ASDF.<br>
<br>
I think one option is to preload the asdf-fasl cache and put that in the<br>
jar.<br>
<br>
I'll open a Quicklisp issue for the unconditional fasl cache directory<br>
creation problem and try to fix it soon.<br>
