Error on calling 'make run': asdf-user does not designate any package

[mooseyboots]

when i try to run make run as per the readme, i get

While evaluating the form starting at line 1, column 0
  of #P"/home/mouse/code/cl/cookie-lisp-project/cookie-lisp-project.asd":
While evaluating the form starting at line 16, column 0
  of #P"/home/mouse/code/cl/cookie-lisp-project/run.lisp":

debugger invoked on a PACKAGE-DOES-NOT-EXIST in thread
#<THREAD "main thread" RUNNING {1001878103}>:
  The name "ASDF-USER" does not designate any package.

so it is baulking at (in-package :asdf-user).

do you have any suggestions? i'm a cl novice.

Hello, damn, I don't like ASDF errors^^

Let's get to it in order… what's your ASDF and Lisp version?

$ rlwrap sbcl
* (asdf:asdf-version)
;; ?
* (lisp-implementation-version)
;; ?

I can't reproduce, happy to re-open with more information.
