Dear Maintainer,

I followed the instructions in the README

msoulier@cortado:~$ sbcl --script /usr/share/common-
lisp/source/quicklisp/quicklisp.lisp

  ==== quicklisp quickstart 2015-01-28 loaded ====

    To continue with installation, evaluate: (quicklisp-quickstart:install)

    For installation options, evaluate: (quicklisp-quickstart:help)

So I loaded sbcl and ran the command:

* (quicklisp-quickstart:install)

debugger invoked on a SB-INT:SIMPLE-READER-PACKAGE-ERROR in thread
#<THREAD "main thread" RUNNING {1001878103}>:
  Package QUICKLISP-QUICKSTART does not exist.

So the installation did not make the library available, and it cannot be used.

Dear Michael,

Thanks for your report.

Indeed it looks like the recommendation to use “sbcl --script …” is
incorrect, since SBCL terminates after loading the file, without giving
access to a REPL from which you could do the installation.

You should follow the other installation option given in the same
README file, which is to use (load #p"/usr/share/common-
lisp/source/quicklisp/quicklisp.lisp") in the REPL before running
(quicklisp-quickstart:install).

Best regards,

I found that it did not work for me. I had to grab the latest quicklisp from the
website.

I tested it locally and this alternative method works. Can you share
the error message you get?

Clearly I did something wrong as I can't reproduce this now.
