FYI, these are generic asdf configuration problems; nothing here is  
specific to acl-compat or cl-ppcre.

This will happen if a DEFSYSTEM form is evaluated while *LOAD- 
TRUENAME* is nil (and it has no :pathname argument). defsystem uses  
this pathname to find the files that are part of the system.

Take a look at asdf:*central-registry*. Add a symlink to cl-ppcre.asd  
in one of the directories mentioned in it; asdf will then find cl- 
ppcre automatically when it is needed.

If you prefer, you can add directories to *central-registry* in your  
init file. (Make sure each is a directory pathname, i.e. has a  
trailing slash.) asdf:*system-definition-search-functions* is also  
available as a customization hook, but you probably don't need that.
