What's cl-ppcre.ppcf?

No.

Might be. But before I can say anything I need more details. Which
version of CL-PPCRE? Which Lisp? (From the messages above I'd guess
it's CMUCL or SBCL but who knows...) Which version of the compiler?
Which operating system?  How did you obtain and build CL-PPCRE?
Manually? Using ASDF-INSTALL? Or did you use tools provided by your OS
distribution like apt-get on Debian or the Ports system on FreeBSD?

Cheers,
Edi.
