I can't do much with the information provided. sbcl-0.8.16 build without trouble on my OS X 10.3.6 system. Could you provide a your system type (hardware platform and OS version) and the compressed output of "sudo port -dv install sbcl". Thanks.

[bugs@…]

The problem was caused by an old .sbclrc file which included (require 'asdf). So, should a new build really be reading a user's config file by default?

[lars@…]

You should be able to avoid this problem by adding --userinit /dev/null --siteinit /dev/null to this line in the portfile:

set host_lisp "\"${workpath}/${name}-${bootversion}-powerpc-darwin/src/runtime/sbcl --core $ {workpath}/${name}-${bootversion}-powerpc-darwin/output/sbcl.core --disable-debugger\" "

This bug has been fixed for the latest portfile.
