I use quicklisp to install linedit, http://www.cliki.net/Linedit say "Should work on Lispworks and OpenMCL/CCL." how to write $HOME/.ccl-init.lisp?
In the meantime, linedit has been made to work with ccl (linedit 0.17.5 with ccl 1.8).
I added this to .ccl-init.lisp:
(when (interactive-stream-p *standard-input*)
(ql:quickload "linedit")
(funcall (intern "INSTALL-REPL" :linedit)))
