It seems problem alexandria:read-file-into-string with LispWorks.

 (alexandria:read-file-into-string "/users/byul/.zshrc" :external-format :utf-8)

Error: External format (:UTF-8 :EOL-STYLE :LF) produces characters of type SIMPLE-CHAR, which is not a subtype of the specified element-type BASE-CHAR.
  1 (abort) return to debug level 4.
  2 return to debug level 3.

Type :b for backtrace or :c <option number> to proceed.
Type :bug-form "<subject>" for a bug report template or :? for other options.

OK. I remove cl-collider's ugen-document from Lispworks until it resolve.

[SynfoniqGene]

Thanks for the quick fix! I was able to clone the repo and have quicklisp build from the local location. I am new to quicklisp. Is there a way to know when this change will be available in the "main" quicklisp system?

Quicklisp usually updates approximately once a month, though it's sometimes more or less often than that. Unfortunately it did update just recently (as per the Quicklisp blog) so it will probably be about a month from now.
