On Windows I use the method listed onhttp://www.cliki.net/asdfunder
the heading "Alternative Sysdef Search functionality". Although I
suspect this may start to grind a little with hundreds of libraries
installed, it works very well with the 20-30 I have on my Windows
machine.

In fact, I found it worked so well (and I'm so lazy) that I use this
technique on Linux too where I do most of my work.

HTH.

Thanks for the reply, but ASDF still gives me the same error message.
My .clisprc.init file is now as follows:

(load #P"C:\\emacs\\clisp-2.41-win32-with-readline-and-gettext\
\clisp-2.41\\asdf.lisp")
;; An alternative to the standard sysdef search can be defined.
This

customized.
;; It will search for all ASDF systems in subdirectories of
the

(in-package #:asdf)
(defvar *subdir-search-registry* '(#p"C:\\emacs")
"List of directories to search subdirectories within.")
(defvar *subdir-search-wildcard* :wild
"Value of :wild means search only one level of subdirectories; value
of :wild-inferiors means search all levels of subdirectories (I don't
advise using this in big directories!)")
(defun sysdef-subdir-search (system)
(let ((latter-path (make-pathname :name (coerce-name system)
:directory (list :relative
*subdir-search-
wildcard*)
:type "asd"
:version :newest
:case :local)))
(dolist (d *subdir-search-registry*)
(let* ((wild-path (merge-pathnames latter-path d))
(files (directory wild-path)))
(when files
(return (first files)))))))
(pushnew 'sysdef-subdir-search *system-definition-search-functions*)

I noticed that ASDF takes more time in searching for the file, but it
still doesn't find it. I have all the .asd files in a folder in the C:
\emacs directory, so that should only be one level down. Any more
ideas?
