<DIV></DIV>Not sure if it works the same on Lispworks, but in SBCL +
Emacs/SLIME, you can target your library archive directly with ASDF instead of
relying on the automated download.<BR><BR>In other words<BR><BR>(require
'asdf)<BR>(require 'asdf-install)<BR>(asdf-install:install
"/path/to/your/cl-ppcre.tar.gz")<BR><BR>Obviously, you'll want to use the
windows file path in place of that one. As long as the tarball has that asd file
in it, it should work.<BR><BR>Now, for this library, you should just be able to
do<BR><BR>(asdf-install:install 'cl-ppcre)<BR><BR>instead of getting your own
download (this is probably what is meant by "the usual way"). cl-ppcre is well
maintained, so ASDF should be able to handle the download for you unless the
CLiki is down for whatever reason.<BR><BR>-Leo<BR><BR>PS. I remember the first
few weeks of learning Lisp. It was goddamn infuriating. If it's any consolation
at all, the feeling passes once you get your bearings. <BR><BR>

Lispworks for windows, and I do not<BR>see anywhere in<BR>the gui even a
mention of ASDF - there is no "button"... On their web<BR>site, they
state that<BR>they have ASDF integration in IDE - I don't see it. The
link in their<BR>web pages takes me here:<BR><BR>To use ASDF in the LispWorks
IDE:<BR><BR>1. Load ASDF and some ASDF system definitions
in the usual ASDF<BR>way.<BR>2. Load the file
(example-file "misc/asdf-integration.lisp") .<BR><BR><BR>>From the above:
Load ASDF and some ASDF system definitions in the usual<BR>ASDF way. (WTF,
I<BR>don't know what the "usual way" is...?) What is the usual
way????<BR><BR>Ok, so I ran the second line called (example-file ......
And I assume<BR>that does something also,<BR>although they don't say
what.... Why is it called example-file??? What<BR>is example-file?
What<BR>kind of a function is that?<BR><BR>Ok, so, I also downloaded
cl-ppcre-2.0.3 (I can't use quicklisp network<BR>type installations<BR>because
I am at a bank, and they have serious firewalls preventing stuff<BR>just like
this). So,<BR>I downloaded this package, and I unzipped it, and I did
notice that<BR>there is amongst other<BR>files a cl-ppcre.asd file (probably
important). So, this is what I<BR>have:<BR><BR>LispWorks 6.0.1 which is

cl-ppcre-2.0.3<BR><BR>So, assuming that the whole thing is ASDF ready, how do

text/plain; charset="us-ascii"<BR><BR>Here's a few quick replies. I
don't believe the personal edition permits the use of an init file, so for now
you'll be doing things 'the hard way'.<BR><BR><BR>*
Click the File->Load menu on the main LispWorks menu (or podium) and
browse respectively to your "asdf.lisp" and "cl-ppcre.asd" files.<BR><BR>*
Load the asdf-integration as before.<BR><BR>*
On the menu/podium again, click the icon for the
"System Browser".<BR><BR>* The ASDF integration is
not obvious. Look along the right hand side of the System Browser for
the three buttons, of a checkmark, an X and some question marks. Click
the question marks and you will be able to select from the available ASDF and
LW systems.<BR><BR>I think there's a glitch in the System Browser. If
you close and reopen it, you'll probably see all loaded Systems displayed.
You should be good to go as far as loading CL-PPCRE (although your next
stumbling block might be understanding Packages).<BR><BR>As to the choice of
EXAMPLE-FILE as a name, my guess is that the ASDF integration provided by LW
was originally a chargeable support incident (a couple of mine are in the
examples too) and that this function is just a general convenience for loading
examples.<BR><BR>BC<BR><BR>p.s. Your feelings about fighting
LispWorks are understood. I had a heck of a time getting started, mainly
because I had never travelled in the 'Land of Lisp'!<BR><BR>--------------
