[cl-ppcre-devel] How to use it after installation?

to common-lisp.
I knew from http://weitz.de/cl-ppcre/#install that debian can install
cl-ppcre from native package, so I use "apt-get install cl-ppcre" to
install, and there are no problem during installation, but i don't
know how to use it at all, should i just require from REPL? But it get
a error.
Maybe i just don't know how to use library in lisp, and i'm using
clisp.

What error are you getting?

Once you have a library installed, it should be this easy:
cl-user> (require :cl-ppcre)
If that's generating an error, it's possible that the Debian package has
problems. You could try using ASDF-INSTALL to install it:
cl-user> (require :asdf-install)
cl-user> (asdf-install:install :cl-ppcre)
Or you could try using Quicklisp:
$ wget http://beta.quicklisp.org/quicklisp.lisp
$ clisp
cluser> (load "quicklisp.lisp")
cluser> (ql:quickload :cl-ppcre)

asdf-install and probably to the Debian packages. If you have troubles
with that you can probably get some help from #quicklisp on
irc.freenode.net.

For lisp libraries you should strongly prefer quicklisp to
asdf-install and probably to the Debian packages. If you have troubles
with that you can probably get some help from #quicklisp on
irc.freenode.net.

Ah-ha! I bet that CLISP's (require :foo) is just a thin wrapper over
(load "foo.lisp"), instead of being a thin wrapper over (asdf:oos
asdf:'load-op :foo).

I bet just asdf on its own would have worked. You could remove the
version you installed and see if it uses the Debian package version
instead.

Quicklisp is really, really nice. I have to second Peter's
recommendation. Where it supports a package, it tends to be very
reliable.
