Did you (require "asdf") first? If you didn't, do. And if you did, it's better to explicitly call (asdf:load-system ...) than have it be implictly called by (require ...).

When asdf process directory that contains files with different codebase(for example in :utf-8) than asdf skip it without show any error or warning. You can set default format in ~/.sbclrc file, for example:

(setf sb-alien::*default-c-string-external-format* :utf-8)
