- You do not indicate what Lisp you are using. If you are using a Symbolics, I
- would guess that the problem is that the file sub1.system (or whatever the
- system declaration file is) has ";;; -*- ... Package: SUB1" in the header
- line, and as soon as it tries to read the file, it complains about the lack of
- this package. As someone else has pointed out (probably barmar), all system
- and package declaration files should be created and read in the USER package.
- If you are not using a Lispm, I would need more information.
-
- Good luck.
