[Openmcl-devel] weirdness with asdf?

[Gary Byers]

I know just enough about ASDF/ASDF-INSTALL to be dangerous (maybe not
even enough to be dangerous ...), but I wonder whether or not the
problem may have to do with the discrepancy between:

#p"/Users/development/dev_libs/asdf-install/asdf-install/"
                               ^ no leading dot
and

/Users/development/.asdf-install-dir/systems/
                    ^ leading dot

?
