Andre,

You can simply continue from this error (using restart 1) or change the
default behavior of GBBopen when asked to compile into a missing directory 
by setting *AUTOMATICALLY-CREATE-MISSING-DIRECTORIES* to true (for example,
in your shared-init.lisp file).

Alternatively, provide the :create-dirs option to the :gbbopen-user REPL 
command that you issued.  E.g.:

* :gbbopen-user :create-dirs

Note that I recommend issuing a :compile-gbbopen REPL command when installing or 
upgrading GBBopen to have all GBBopen modules compiled (the :compile-gbbopen 
command binds *AUTOMATICALLY-CREATE-MISSING-DIRECTORIES* to true while it is
compiling).

Note that whoever compiles GBBopen files will need write (and directory creation)
permission, so consider carefully what protections you want on the GBBopen system.
If you want a "protected" GBBopen installation, then you should always do a full
:compile-gbbopen as sudo, so that GBBopen does not need to compile any of its files
that may be needed by a user/application.  Users can then compile their own 
applications in whatever directory their applications reside (needing only read 
access to the GBBopen system files).
