I'm trying to install the zip library.?The weird thing is that ASDF
doesn't appear to search online for zip. It just gives up.

Specs:

Allegro CL 8.2

ASDF (presumably included with Allegro)

Mac OS X 10.6.4

MacBook Pro 5,1

Perhaps now would be a good time to switch to quicklisp?

Hi Andrew,

ASDF doesn't do package searching and downloading. ASDF-Install does but it isn't well maintained (because the maintainer -- that's me -- is overwhelmed by life). As Pascal suggested, QuickLisp is a better way to go.

HTH,
