[asdf-install-devel] asdf-install on Windows XP and SBCL 1.0.13

[Praki Prakash]

Hi Gary,

Thanks for your quick reply and I really appreciate your help.

I am using cygwin and I am using the latest asdf-install. Here is my
asdf-install directory contents extracted from
http://common-lisp.net/project/asdf-install/asdf-install_latest.tar.gz
I don't know if the nested asdf-install is expected.

C:\sbcl\1.0.13\asdf-install>dir
 Volume in drive C is PPRAKASH-WIN1
 Volume Serial Number is 88FB-1B53

 Directory of C:\sbcl\1.0.13\asdf-install

05/25/2008  01:30 PM    <DIR>          asdf-install
12/26/2007  07:20 PM             1,510 rebuild
12/26/2007  07:20 PM               561 test-asdf-install.asd
05/25/2008  01:30 PM    <DIR>          tests
05/25/2008  01:30 PM    <DIR>          website

This what happens when I (require 'asdf-install).

C:\sbcl\1.0.13\asdf-install>sbcl --dynamic-space-size 100
