Hi Rob,

Two problems here! (regarding usage of the source)

1) I've never used GIT so don't know exactly what I'm looking at. I
downloaded a snapshot of master:

cybernetic-microblogger-39998f557db139fb426dda6d0b16cd098528237c.tar.gz

2) Having only recently begun learning CL, I'm not quite sure what's
going on. Eventually figured out the first part:

(load "install.lisp")    ; not ./install.lisp in bash

It downloaded http://www.lichteblau.com/cxml-stp/download/cxml-stp.tgz
and I chose to install in ~/.sbcl

then I ran make (not from within sbcl) and got this:

sbcl --load "./make.lisp"
This is SBCL 1.0.18.debian, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp.
More information about SBCL is available at <http://www.sbcl.org/>.

Now might there be a problem with a missing ASDF component??? As before I
tried (load "install.lisp") i tried (compile-file "install.lisp")
and it spoke thus:

; compiling file
"/home/james/Lisp/cybernetic-microblogger/install.lisp" (written 16
MAY 2009 07:30:45 PM):
; compiling (REQUIRE (QUOTE ASDF))
; compiling (REQUIRE (QUOTE ASDF-INSTALL));
; compilation unit aborted
;   caught 1 fatal ERROR condition
; compilation aborted because of fatal error:
;   READ failure in COMPILE-FILE:
;     SB-INT:SIMPLE-READER-PACKAGE-ERROR at 909 (line 22, column 21) on
#<SB-SYS:FD-STREAM for "file
/home/james/Lisp/cybernetic-microblogger/install.lisp" {10026A14A1}>:
;       package "ASDF-INSTALL" not found
; compilation aborted after 0:00:01
NIL

so I assumed it was wrong to (compile-file "install.lisp") and correct
to (load "install.lisp").

---

Anyway, I don't have a identi.ca profile so I can't actually use the
s/w but just wanted to play around with it a little, see if i could
learn something or other...

btw, i like:

Cheers,
james.
