[GBBopen-developer] Agenda Shell test failed on LispWorks 5.1

Only #1 and #3 are needed to run the test.

> 5. (compile-gbbopen)

These steps (4 & 5) are only needed if you are maintaining a GBBopen 
installation that is used by others (who don't have write permission to the 
GBBopen directory tree).  Otherwise, you can let GBBopen handle 
recompiling/loading the updates for you (as they are needed).

> update', can these new changes of source code be compiled?

GBBopen has a minimal interface for ASDF users, so you could use it to do a 
  compile & load on :agenda-shell-test.  However, using GBBopen's Mini 
Module system is the preferred mechanism:

   > (load "<install-dir>/initiate.lisp")
   > :agenda-shell-test

If you set up your CL environment according to the "Enhancing Your 
Development Environment" exercise in the GBBopen Tutorial (highly 
recommended), then you would only need to enter:

   > :agenda-shell-test

after starting up your LispWorks session.
