<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm a total CL newbie, so my apologies: there's probably something very obvious I'm missing. I'm hoping you can help me see it.<br>
<br>
I've installed SBCL, Slime, and Emacs successfully. When I follow the instructions on the project page on how to install cl-ncurses, I get some errors.<br>
<br>
The (require :asdf-install) is successful (I think):<br>
<br>
CL-USER> (require :asdf-install)<br>
("ASDF-INSTALL")<br>
<br>
Next, I select a system-wide install:<br>
<br>
CL-USER> (asdf-install:install :cl-ncurses)<br>
Install where?<br>
1) System-wide install: <br>
System in C:/Program Files (x86)/Steel Bank Common Lisp/1.0.55/site-systems/<br>
Files in C:/Program Files (x86)/Steel Bank Common Lisp/1.0.55/site/ <br>
2) Personal installation: <br>
System in c:/emacs/emacs-22.3/Julian/.sbcl/systems/<br>
Files in c:/emacs/emacs-22.3/Julian/.sbcl/site/ <br>
--> 1<br>
<br>
Next, it tries verifying gpg signature, and fails:<br>
<br>
could not open a temporary file: No such file or directory<br>
[Condition of type SIMPLE-ERROR]<br>
<br>
Restarts:<br>
0: [SKIP-GPG-CHECK] Don't check GPG signature for this package<br>
<br>
I select "0":<br>

Installing c:/emacs/emacs-22.3/Julian/.sbcl/systems/CL-NCURSES.asdf-install-tmp in C:/Program Files (x86)/Steel Bank Common Lisp/1.0.55/site/,C:/Program Files (x86)/Steel Bank Common Lisp/1.0.55/site-systems/<br>
NIL<br>
CL-USER> <br>
<br>
However, when I check the two directories above, there's nothing there.<br>
<br>
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? What's the manual installation process? Please forgive any ignorance on my part; I'm a complete newbie to Lisp.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
