[Bese-devel] Problem installing ucw

[berry groenendijk]

I am a newbie at Lisp. I am very interested in developing
webapplications in Lisp. So, I am searching for a good, modern
webframework with which I am able to quickly build websites. So, I
stumbled upon Uncommon Web. Unfortunately I have some trouble getting
things up and running.

I am running Linux and Apache 2.0. I installed mod_lisp succesfully.
Now I need to get ucw up and running. I put together this simple
startup script:

;;;Startucw.lisp
(defvar *lisp-dirs* "/home/berry/MyProgs/lisp/" "Root location of CL
library installs")
(load (concatenate 'string *lisp-dirs* "asdf/asdf.lisp"))
(setf asdf:*central-registry*
      '(*default-pathname-defaults*
	(concatenate 'string *lisp-dirs* "ucw_0.3.6/")))
(load (concatenate 'string *lisp-dirs* "ucw_0.3.6/init.lisp"))

When I run this script I get the following error:

[1]> (load "startucw.lisp")
;; Loading file startucw.lisp ...
;;  Loading file /home/berry/MyProgs/lisp/asdf/asdf.lisp ...

I am running CLisp. Problem seems to be that the startup file can not
find the compont RFC2388. Despite the fact that it is present in the
ucw directories. Can anyone please help with this?

Thanks.
