I'm trying to replace my distro's CL install, to use the latest and
greatest and mostly because I want to control where things are
placed -- /usr/local instead of my home directory. <br>
<br>
I have downloaded and installed SBCL-1.1.8-x86-64. That works.<br>
I have downloaded the ASDF tarball. The readme and manual are
pretty clear except for one little nit.<br>
<br>
Should I uncompress the tarball to
/usr/local/share/common-lisp/source? Or, should I unzip it somewhere
else (/usr/local/asdf-3,0.1), then (load
#P"/usr/local/asdf-3.0.1/asdf.lisp"), and let ASDF put everything
where it should go.<br>
<br>
And, may I humbly suggest an INSTALL text in the tarball that would
give people whose smarts are taking retirement a step-by-step guide?<br>

Thanks in advance,<br>
