Hi all,

I just decided to give a try to weblock today, but got stuck in installation step... it says quicklisp can install it really easily on homepage, but I couldn't find any particular instruction for installation by quicklisp.

I use Win7+emacs+slime+quicklisp BTW.

On the page http://www.quicklisp.org/beta/, there are instructions for searching for packages. If you use
(ql:system-apropos "weblocks") you will see that there is a package weblocks.

Then just install it by invoking:

(ql:quickload "weblocks")

Regards,

Mikael

thanks Mikael, that works! except.. I saw an erro message while emacs was loading weblocks... It was downloading a bunch of stuffs first, and then it began loading stuffs, then it says:

Unable to load foreign library (LIBSSL).

   [Condition of type CFFI:LOAD-FOREIGN-LIBRARY-ERROR]

Sorry, do not have a clue, it might be something that only appears in Windows 7. I am running Linux myself and have not had any problems with any ssl lib.

I hope you will solve it!

Looks like it couldn't find libssl32.dll
I'm not sure if this would work, but you can try to download the "libssl32.dll" file (put into windows 7 libraries directory)

Thanks a lot guys! I found my emacs+quicklisp combination need to be updated.. 

so I updated quicklisp by typing (ql:update-all-dists) & (ql:update-client) and installed weblocks again by (ql:quickload "weblocks") and everything seems working smoothly, everything is downloaded and installed. But now emacs keeps showing an endless message:

CL-USER> (ql:quickload "weblocks")
To load "weblocks":
  Load 1 ASDF system:
    weblocks
; Loading "weblocks"
...To load "asdf":
  Load 1 ASDF system:
    asdf
; Loading "asdf"

; Loading "weblocks"
To load "asdf":
  Load 1 ASDF system:
    asdf
; Loading "asdf"

; Loading "weblocks"
To load "asdf":
  Load 1 ASDF system:
    asdf
; Loading "asdf"

; Loading "weblocks"
To load "asdf":
  Load 1 ASDF system:
    asdf
; Loading "asdf"

That looked so weird, so I terminated emacs and opened again, and typed (ql:quickload "weblocks") again, and emacs still keeps displaying this message... Is this.. what does this mean?

Hi,

 I ran into the same problem today, after update-client and update-all-dists. Looks like the problem is is the package fare-utils.

I'm sure this is not the correct solution, but what I did was this:
In the file
~/quicklisp/dists/quicklisp/software/fare-utils-20120703-git/fare-utils.asd
I commented out line number 8 that read
;  :depends-on ((:version :asdf "2.019") :fare-memoization #|:lisp-interface-library|#)

Seems to work just fine after that.
