[Openmcl-devel] error loading quicklisp into CCL

[R. Matthew Emerson]

An updated Mac App Store version of CCL that should not exhibit this problem is now available from the store.  The about box will show "Version 1.11.1 (16714)", and lisp-implementation-version will report "1.11-store-r16714".

http://trac.clozure.com/ccl/ticket/1352 was also about this same problem.

I apologize for this mess.  This problem (old ASDF configuration state involving pathnames from my computer) was found during testing, but somehow I managed to upload the wrong binary (without the fix) to the app store.

I think he uploaded the fixed version on Monday, 2/29, but the App Store still has the 2/28 version (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/clozure-cl/id489900618). Matt is taking a short vacation, so I can’t ask him.
