You need to (require 'asdf) before you can (require 'asdf-install).
The same applies to most of the stuff in contrib/ in fact

It looks like the getopt package is distributed with fasl files for
Allegro CL - obviously these won't work in SBCL.

With luck, Kevin will see this message and upload a new version that
doesn't have spare binary files in it.

and according to the reader macros in clsql-aodbc.asd, it only works
in (the full version of) Allegro CL :

 #+(and allegro (not allegro-cl-trial))
 (defsystem clsql-aodbc
   [...]

I'd suggest that the package author (hey, Kevin!) adds a=20

 #-(and allegro (not allegro-cl-trial))
 (error "This only works in Allegro CL")

to that file, and perhaps also that he removes it from the dependency list=
=20
for clsql unless running on Allegro CL.

Whoops! Thanks for the notice. I've uploaded a new version without the
stray fasl files.

I'd rather not signal an error but just ignore the defsystem on
an incompatible platform.

I'll update the clsql-tests.asd to avoid that dependency on
allegro-personal-edition.

However, clsql will not install via asdf-install for two reasons:

  1. It needs shared library files to be compiled by the user with
  the included makefile [to handle the 64-bit api]
  2. the test suite requires the user create a config file that
  provides the login information for the sql server to use for
  testing.
