How do I use (require :PACKAGE) in clisp under Ubuntu Hardy?

I am trying to evaluate the answer provided here, and am getting the error: "A file with name ASDF-INSTALL does not exist" when using clisp:

dsm@localhost:~$ clisp -q
[1]> (require :asdf-install)

*** - LOAD: A file with name ASDF-INSTALL does not exist
The following restarts are available:
ABORT          :R1      ABORT
Break 1 [2]> :r1
[3]> (quit)

dsm@localhost:~$

cmucl throws a similar error:

dsm@localhost:~$ cmucl -q

But sbcl works perfectly:

dsm@localhost:~$ sbcl -q

Any ideas on how to fix this? I found this post on the internet, but using that didn't work either.

Solution

use clc:clc-require in clisp. Refer to 'man common-lisp-controller'. I had the same error in clisp and resolved it by using clc:clc-require. sbcl works fine with just require though.
