loading cl+ssl using clisp/asdf under windows 7

Question

I am trying to load up "cl+ssl" via

(asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op :cl+ssl)

resulting in

Component :TRIVIAL-GARBAGE not found, required by #<SYSTEM "cl+ssl">

is this problem known to anybody and if yes/no how can I fix this, or how can I approach to fix it?

You have to first install trivial-garbage system in a place, where ASDF can find it. Quicklisp can do all that for you — Vsevolod Dyomkin, May 24 '12 at 13:00
FWIW, you don't need to do the old-style, cumbersome `ASDF:OOS`, any more. ASDF finally has the simple: `(asdf:load-system :cl+ssl)` — Robert P. Goldman, May 25 '12 at 15:18

asdf:load-op doesn't automatically install dependencies for you (though I think it does automatically load them if you've already got them installed).

Really, the best way of handling this is by using quicklisp.

If you don't want to do that, you can probably install trivial-garbage via asdf-install, or manually install it from the source.
