there is no package with name "QL". while installing clisp

I'm trying to install lisp in my laptop by following the instruction command and steps that is suggested this site : https://grishagin.com/lisp/windows10/2017/01/26/install-lisp-Windows10.html. I have done following steps :

  1. I've extract emacs in my specified directory and add it's bin path to the system variable PATH

  2. I've created a another new directory named C:\HOME and add it system variable with variable HOME and value C:\HOME

  3. Clisp 2.48 is installed in my lisp directory and To fix some problem, copied svm.dll out of clisp- 2.48/libsvm directory into clisp-2.48/full.

  4. Place quicklisp.lisp into lisp directory and run following code in clisp

    (load "C:/lisp/quicklisp.lisp"), (quicklisp-quickstart:install :path "C:/lisp/quicklisp/")

    this two command worked but when i go from next command : (ql:add-to-init-file) It shows this error :- READ from #<INPUT CONCATENATED-STREAM # #>: there is no package with name "QL".

Can anyone please help to solve this error and explain how does this all help for lisp to keep working?

Solution

  • So, in the QuickLisp installation instructions, it says:

    (quicklisp-quickstart:install)

    But you include an optional parameter :path "C:/lisp/quicklisp/"

    Try it again, without the optional parameter, and see if that works better.
