Only a fraction of libraries are packaged for Debian, so sticking to
them is going to restrict your choices severely. As a longtime Debian
user, I also thought I would get away with using only CL libraries in
Debian, but soon I had to realize that this is not feasible. I would
recommend that you try something like clbuild, which works very well.

OK, thanks. I used clbuild to install drakma library and its
dependencies. I have still problems. This works:

(asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :drakma)

But trying to use

(drakma:http-request "http://lisp.org/")

in Clisp prints this error:

NODELAY in SOCKET-CONNECT is unsupported.

OK, this feature just isn't supported in CLISP. My first experience with
Common Lisp libraries is not exactly encouraging.

Do you have any particular reason why you want to use CLISP and not
SBCL if you're on Linux? If not I would suggest using SBCL.

This is a good thing to report as a bug. The libraries aim to be
portable, and this seems like an accidental incompatibility.
