CLX distribution does not work for SBCL

[Thomas Bartscher]

The CLiki page on CLX sais, that this is the vorrect version to use
for SBCL: http://common-lisp.net/~abridgewater/dist/clx/clx-0.7.4.tgz
How can I use it in quicklisp? I tried writing the clx.txt in dists/
quicklisp/installed/releases and dists/quicklisp/installed/systems
myself and putting the extracted source into dists/quicklisp/software,
but on writing
(ql:quickload "clx")
it attempts to download from http://beta.quicklisp.org/archive/clx/2010-10-06/clx-0.7.4.tgz
again, wich does not work for sbcl.

The error message:

" failed AVER: (AND (NULL #) (NULL #))
This is probably a bug in SBCL itself. (Alternatively, SBCL
might have been corrupted by bad user code, e.g. by an undefined
Lisp operation like (FMAKUNBOUND 'COMPILE), or by stray pointers
from alien code or from unsafe Lisp code; or there might be a
bug in the OS or hardware that SBCL is running on.) If it seems
to be a bug in SBCL itself, the maintainers would like to know
about it. Bug reports are welcome on the SBCL mailing lists,
which you can find at <http://sbcl.sourceforge.net/>.
[Condition of type SB-INT:BUG]"

I cannot load McClim in Quicklisp without supplying CLX (or can I?).

To override the Quicklisp-supplied project, just unpack it somewhere and
point ASDF at it. Anything visible via asdf's find-system will take
precedence. You shouldn't have to manually mess with anything in
~/quicklisp/dists/*.

This is a bug in SBCL 1.0.45 that will be fixed in the
soon-to-be-released 1.0.46. It's not present in 1.0.44, either.

Then it seems I will have to wait for 1.0.46, as the other package
doesn't work either.

Good luck! 1.0.46 was released today.
