[Openmcl-devel] asdf-install questions

[Chris Wright]

Hi
I have asdf and adsf-install installed (!), but I have this problem:

Welcome to OpenMCL Version 1.1-pre-070214 (DarwinX8664)!
? (asdf-install:install 'md5)
Install where?
0) System-wide install:
   System in /usr/local/asdf-install/site-systems/

1) Personal installation:

   Files in /Users/caw/.asdf-install-dir/site/
2) Abort installation.

I've had the same error trying to install other systems:

openmcl64

/Users/caw/.asdf-install-dir/systems/asdf-install.asd into #<Package
"ASDF0">
; registering #<SYSTEM ASDF-INSTALL #x300040FAD2BD> as ASDF-INSTALL

I am not sure where to start with sorting this out.

uname -a
Darwin chris-wrights-computer.local 8.9.1 Darwin Kernel Version 8.9.1:

I have installed both of these systems (md5 and mcclim) with sbcl on
this box via asdf-install without problems

I would be grateful for any help

Cheers

Chris
