Quicklisp not found

[derekchiang]

I've installed Quicklisp and yet when I launch the server it's complaining that Quicklisp can't be found.

➜  ls ~/quicklisp 
asdf.lisp  client-info.sexp  dists  local-projects  quicklisp  setup.lisp  tmp

➜  sbcl --load ~/.vim/bundle/vlime/lisp/start-vlime.lisp

Is quicklisp loaded when you run sbcl directly? It must be configured to load quicklisp, usually using $HOME/.sbclrc .

I stumbled across this as well. One can modify .sbclrc manually, or you can have quicklisp set this up for you.

I did this by directly loading ~/quicklisp/setup.lisp and calling (ql:add-to-init-file). That is, I did something like

$ cd ~/quicklisp
$ sbcl

* (load "setup.lisp")
...
* (ql:add-to-init-file)
