Re: Install problems

It appears that your problem is with DEFSYSTEM.

This is very funny indeed.  This is one part of DEFSYSTEM that has not
changed in ages.

Which version of DEFSYSTEM are you using?  Please use the version from
the CLOCC.

As per the error itself it can either be something amiss with the
CMUCL distribution or it may be something that has to do with the
Unix/DOS encoding of the newline.
