No, it doesn't have to.

Here's a good explanation and a workaround:

Don't ascribe to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity.

oh shit..
problem is not in my code - i try to run CL-PREVALENCE examples with clisp
(it appears to be working with sbcl, lispworks and openmcl according to
conditional parts in system-dependent layer) and there is such expression:

(probe-file (get-directory system))

i couldn't imagine that there can be incompatibility with such stuff..

Maybe you should report that to the CL-PREVALENCE maintainers.

The joys of Common-Lisp portability...

The only thing you can do with a path to a directory is 
ENSURE-DIRECTORIES-EXIST.

PROBE-FILE is named PROBE-FILE, not PROBE-FILE-SYSTEM-ITEM or PROBE-DIRECTORY.

Hallo

While walking through /src and playing around I found:

[19]> (lisp-implementation-version)
"2.31 (released 2003-09-01) (built on lin [127.0.0.1])"

............................
(Look at the last line)
[65]> (describe 'cons)

CONS is the symbol CONS, lies in #<PACKAGE COMMON-LISP>
packages CLOS, COMMON-LISP, COMMON-LISP-USER, EXT, FFI,
a function, names a type, names a class, has 4 properti
SYSTEM::INSTRUCTION, SYSTEM::TYPE-LIST, SYSTEM::TYPE-SY
For more information, evaluate (SYMBOL-PLIST 'CONS).

 #<PACKAGE COMMON-LISP> is the package named COMMON-LIS
 LISP, CL.
 It imports the external symbols of 1 package CLOS and
 6 packages FFI, SCREEN, CLOS, COMMON-LISP-USER, EXT, S

 #<SYSTEM-FUNCTION CONS> is a built-in system function.
 Argument list: (ARG0 ARG1).
Documentation:
SYSTEM::FILE:
#P"D:\\gnu\\clisp\\sf\\clisp\\build-O-mingw\\clos.fas"

Is this correct? I run on a Win98 Box, the "D:\..." is CD-ROM
.................................
found in compiler.lisp:

;; The instruction list is in <doc/impbyte.xml>.

In C:\cl231\doc there is no such file.
