Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

Trying to start clfswm with startx and 'exec clfswm' in .xinitrc

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

startx

   * What was the outcome of this action?

The following error:

   *** - LOAD: A file with name /usr/share/common-lisp/source/cl-asdf/asdf.lisp does not exist

This happens with any invocation of clfswm, no need to call it via startx.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

An X session with clfswm as my window manager :)

Thanks,
jao

Are you using clisp?  Is cl-asdf installed?

clfswm doesn't depend on cl-asdf since clfswm depends on cl-clx-sbcl and
sbcl has included asdf in its package.  If you use clfswm with clisp,
you have to install cl-asdf.

Variously.  See clfswm's manpage or README.Debian for details.

My apologies for not RTFM before asking, and thanks for your patience.
(With sbcl, it complains that the :CLX package cannot be found, but i
understand what's the problem there.)
