[Portableaserve-help] Installing on OS X with SBCL 1.0

[Jim M. <ji...@io...>]

I'm a long-time Emacs lisper who has dabbled with Lisp on and off over
the years. I'm working my way though Practical Common Lisp and would
like to install Portable AllegroServer.

When I tried typing (load "INSTALL.lisp") in SLIME, I get the error message

Lock on package SB-EXT violated when setting fdefinition of STRING-TO-OCTETS.
   [Condition of type SYMBOL-PACKAGE-LOCKED-ERROR]

As a Lisp and SLIME newbie, I'm not sure what to do next. I have tried
searching this mailing list's archives, but didn't find anything
helpful. Perhaps I'm not using the correct search terms.

Do I have to load ASDF? When I tried putting (load
"/usr/local/src/portableaserve/libs/asdf.lisp") into my .sblrc file,
it failed. That doesn't work unless I manually load it after SLIME has
started. When I do load it manually---I see a bunch of style
warnings---then try loading INSTALL.lisp, I see the same error
message.

What am I doing wrong? I would love to try Portable AllegroServe.

Jim
