Re: [Gcl-devel] gcl 2.7.0 hopelessly broken in debian

[Faré]

Can you provide an updated gcl installation script?

When I simply replace c-l-c: by clc: I get other errors.

As for the missing function ASDF:PROCESS-SOURCE-REGISTRY, are you
using the latest ASDF? Say 1.704 from debian or 1.714 from upstream?

I removed the clc image and tried again. I can compile asdf, but
gclcvs won't load it, saying package ASDF does not exist - apparently
the eval-when doesn't get a chance to be run before gclcvs tries to
link stuff to said package.

I also tried loading asdf.lisp as a lisp file then loading a system,
but then I get an
Error in error:
ERROR SIMPLE-TYPE-ERROR (DATUM INTERNAL-SIMPLE-MISSING-COMPONENT
                               EXPECTED-TYPE

                               (INTERNAL-SIMPLE-MISSING-COMPONENT)) NIL

How do I get a useful backtrace from there?
