As I have said in other mails, this is not the normal way of using
the
system. Using REQUIRE in source files is unusual; so too is not
having
the depended-on systems already compiled, which perhaps explains
why
it's taken this long just to understand your problem. (In general
triggering a file compilation from within LOAD or COMPILE-FILE is
hazardous; it doesn't completely surprise me that not everything
is
actually totally correct). You would make your life easier by
writing
your own defsystem forms which declare the relevant dependencies
on
other systems.

Okay, I tried the following in a new source file test2.lisp with a
fresh emacs and slime environment. <br>
<br>
(asdf:defsystem #:test2 :depends-on (:cl-ppcre)))<br>
(asdf:load-system "test2")<br>
(describe 'cl-ppcre:regex-apropos)<br>
<br>
<br>
I compiled each of these lines with C-c C-c. The behavior is the
same as before:<br>
<br>
Source file: /home/jcunningham/slime/test1.lisp<br>
<br>
If I am not implementing this in the "normal" way of using the
system, perhaps you could give me some guidance here. What is the
minimal code I need to write in a file so I can load, say, cl-ppcre,
write a line of code that calls one of its functions, and allows me
to navigate to it by Alt-. ?<br>
<br>
I thought I was doing it the normal way. <br>
