Package ASDF does not exist.

Hi,

I wanted to try cl-jupyter the quick and dirty way (just starting to learn about lisp), and what I got was:

I have a clean SBCL installation on Ubuntu 18.04, and quite possibly I just need to know how to get asdf permanently - nothing had changed after running (require 'asdf) in sbcl.

@freifrauvonbleifrei SBCL bundles ASDF, so it is really weird to not have one? Quicklisp also bundles ASDF, have you installed it already?

freifrauvonbleifrei commented 5 years ago

@PuercoPop hrm, no, apt list --installed | grep asdf did not give me anything. I tried installing cl-asdf, and reinstalling sbcl, to no avail.

PuercoPop commented 5 years ago

@freifrauvonbleifrei It is not a good idea to use the distribution packages for Lisp libraries. Uninstall CL-ASDF. SBCL bundles ASDF as part of their main repository. I recommend using the SBCL you got from apt to compile your own sources:

$ sh make.sh --prefix=/usr/local --fancy
And follow the instructions and then
$ apt-get remove sbcl

But installing quicklisp should provide you with an (albeit old) ASDF version regardless.

DylanMeeus commented 5 years ago

I face a similar problem - running Debian and having quicklisp installed though. (I got SBCL from apt-get install on Jessie)

mrmechko commented 5 years ago

I got a similar problem. I installed sbcl from source, as per a suggestion above. I still get the Package ASDF does not exist error. sbcl --eval "(require 'asdf)" --quit works just fine though.

UPDATE: I figured out my problem. I don't have a .sbclrc so sbcl doesn't automatically (require 'asdf) or (load "~/quicklisp/setup.lisp"). I suspect this might solve some people's problems.

fredokun commented 5 years ago

cl-jupyter kind of depend on quicklisp so the setup.lisp script should be loaded implicitly or explicitely ... Closing this (happy that you find a solution)

phewdry commented 4 years ago

can you post your .sbclrc file? how to load with cl-jupyter??

@mrmechko

Its been a while since Ive used it since I switched to emacs and just started using SLIME. If you want, check out https://github.com/tripslab/vagrant-trips. The whole thing is unnecessary for you, but the way the virtual machine gets set up, cl-jupyter ran on it. Sorry i can't be more help, but I got a thesis to finish :3

EDIT: my sblrc file apparently just had the following in it

(require 'asdf)
(load "~/quicklisp/setup.lisp")

This file has the way I installed all the lisp specific packages, including cl-jupyter. Hope this helps!
