QuickLisp Install Error | LispWorks | Windows (Vista)

[Arundhati Jaswal]

Hi

1) When I first downloaded quicklisp.lisp, I copied it in the same directory as lispworks-personal-6-1-1-x86-win32.exe.

2) Then I opened LispWorks and loaded QuickLisp with the command (load "quicklisp.lisp").

3) After that, I tried to install it with the command (quicklisp-quickstart:install).

4) But it gave an Error: No applicable methods for #<STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION QL-DIST:ENABLE 21E82CDA> with args (NIL).

5) I restarted LispWorks and loaded QuickLisp again using (load "quicklisp.lisp").

6) Then I tried installing again with (quicklisp-quickstart:install).

7) But it gave an Error: Quicklisp has already been installed. Load #P"C:/Users/Arundhati/quicklisp/setup.lisp" instead.

8) I then tried (ql:system-apropos "vecto").

9) But it now prompts Error while reading: Reader cannot find package QL.

Error while reading: Reader cannot find package SYSTEM-APROPOS.

Please guide me as what steps I can take to ensure a successful installation and use of QuickLisp.

Thanks & regards

1) I gave the command (load "~/quicklisp/setup.lisp")
which now worked.
2) I then gave the command (ql:add-to-init-file)
which also worked.

But (ql:system-apropos "vecto") returns no action or output.
And (ql:quickload "vecto") gives an Error: System "vecto" not found.

I also tried (ql:quickload "aserve")
but got an Error: System "aserve" not found
