While using SBCL normally I want to try CCL for some testing and installed it via homebrew on my computer. That worked fine but I fail to use quicklisp with CCL. If I try to load quicklisp's setup.lisp I get the following error message:
➜ ~ ccl64
Clozure Common Lisp Version 1.11.6 DarwinX8664

? (require 'asdf)
ASDF
("uiop" "UIOP" "asdf" "ASDF")
? (load "~/quicklisp/setup.lisp")
> Error: There is no package named "ASDF/SYSTEM-REGISTRY" .

1 > :POP
I couldn't find a simple solution searching the web. CCL comes with ASDF as (require 'ASDF) is working. In quicklisp's documentation I couldn't find anything about extra efforts to use it with two lisp implementations in parallel.
If I check ASDF's version as suggested here I get "3.1.5" as installed version, which should be quite recent.
Is there anything obvious I am missing?
I think I found it: I had some old data in my ~/.cache directory from another attempt to install ccl. After deleting it, I can load quicklisp's setup.lisp without any error.
Please advice If I should delete my question or leave it here to prevent others from repeating my errors.
