I patched hdf5-cffi.asd to add :cffi-grovel to the dependencies, and with that patch everything works fine. > We could add all the dependencies declared in the original asd files (by > 'defsystem-depends-on' and 'depends-on') to the generated asd files with > the following patch: I don't know ASDF and the ASDF build system well enough to comment on that. All I can say is that in a "standard" SBCL + QuickLisp environment, it is not necessary to patch hdf5-cffi.asd, so it seems to be correct as far as I can tell, meaning that it would be nice if it worked out of the box as well in Guix.

I am so used to pkg-config related errors that I hardly see them any more. So yes, this ought to be fixed, but it's not related to the problem I had. Thanks again, Konrad.
