Hello. I updated my SBCL to the latest version from github. and now I'm getting errors when trying to load libraries through slime, like Esrap and Clx. I'm trying to understand the error message but could'nt figure out. Please help. the messages are indicating a file saying "0 does not designate a string" in esrap library and ".../bin/sh: 1: fd: not found

(and make sure you are using the copy of the library you think you are, (ql:where-is-system 'esrap) will tell you which is being loaded if you use ql)

as i tried to compile older versions of SBCL and still the problem indicates most probably it is a library issue

I did that. I removed the quicklisp folder and quickload again Esrap and Clx but the same error

I also now suspect something is not working with my setup. I'm now creating a new virtualbox to check a clean setup

ACTION wonders if that managed to actually run anything in shell while compiling things

the (:export ... #:character-ranges) form in the error didn't match the source, and changed at the #:!

so looking at the clx source, the form in the error also contained some symbols with ! in them

(possibly combined with some vague memory of people using ! as a reader macro for running things in sh)
