There is a file called binary-data.asd that defines the system "binary-data".
It should be located in the subdirectory

  src/external-libraries/practicals-1.0.3/Chapter08

which is relative to the graphic-forms top level directory. The variable
*binary-data-dir* is defined in config.lisp with that relative path.

After you execute  (gfsys::configure-asdf) can you tell me what
asdf:*central-registry* evaluates to? Just type that fully-qualified
symbol at the REPL, and you'll get back it's value.
