You can use your .sbclrc to ensure that your local copy shadows the main copy. One thing to do would be to 1. (REQUIRE :ASDF) 2. Push the location of the local copy onto ASDF:*CENTRAL-REGISTRY* 3. (ASDF:LOAD-SYSTEM "ASDF") As far as integration with Quicklisp is concerned, I have no idea, since I don't use QL. You should ask about that on a QL discussion place. And what it says: if you have a cl-asdf package installed from something like debian, get rid of it. Fare disagrees with me, but I think this package is just a nuisance, since every implementation I know of ships with ASDF bundled. cheers, r > > Thanks. > Jim > > WARNING: > You are using ASDF version 3.1.3 (probably from (require "asdf") or > loaded > by quicklisp) and have an older version of ASDF 3.0.2 registered at > #P"/usr/local/share/common-lisp/source/asdf/asdf.asd".
