I can't compile the latest release of static-vectors @ 566fd7e

The main error message seems to be:

OPERATION instances must only be created through MAKE-OPERATION.
   [Condition of type ASDF/SESSION:FORMATTED-SYSTEM-DEFINITION-ERROR]

More detailed log is collapsed below.

I suspect you have an old version of CFFI that's getting loaded. I don't get that error, and have never encountered it.

I tried to make sure I had everything I could think of updated before I opened the issue and yet I overlooked this one. Had a directory in my ASDF load path that contained an old CFFI version in it and that was getting loaded. Damn it. Loads and compiles fine now, thank you.

My suggestion is to entirely avoid having many directories on your load path. Two should suffice: one for Quicklisp, the other one for sources you download manually.
