It's gonna be fun to see what all the fuss is about.

I did exactly as you as well, and everything worked. Heh. i got two/three warnings which you could continue, none in the second package though. I'm running sbcl 1.0.2 (latest PPC MAC) from the official SBCL site. Good luck with your next attempts... I'll post more details if you like. Thanks for a nice article.

“Server responded 404 for GET http://www.cliki.net/cl-weblocks?download”

Will try again later today, hopefully I’ll have better luck then. :)

Still, a little common sense would have had me trying the above. Noobishnes is not really an excuse... Or did I read somewhere that weblocks was not asdf installable? I can't remember, maybe some old advice, have to check. Ah I found it: http://trac.common-lisp.net/cl-weblocks/wiki/ObtainingAndInstalling From that page: <blockquote> Weblocks is a very young piece of software. At the moment installing it is a little more difficult that necessary. While Weblocks is ASDF-aware, it is not currently ASDF-installable as there have been no formal releases. </blockquote> Obviously wrong then, maybe it should be removed? I'll definitely try it tomorrow, hopefully the version of metatilities that will be pulled by that line will differ somehow from the one you get when trying to install it independently? Btw, thanks! “just plain (asdf-install:install :cl-weblocks) should suffice”
