I think I puzzled through a lot of it, though it’s definitely unexpected.
>From what I can tell, ensure-externals.sh: 1. Creates and sets up a quicklisp environment in "lib/cl" 2. Downloads all the dependencies for the CL thrift library into a subdirectory called “externals” 3. Downloads the _actual thrift lib_ into another subdirectory called “lib” (so, yup, the actual CL thrift lib isn’t in-tree) And, load-locally.lisp: 1. Loads all the dependencies of the CL thrift lib from “externals” 2. Loads the CL thrift lib itself from “lib” Allen On December 1, 2018 at 21:57:09, James E.
