If you're using CMUCL [or maybe SBCL?], the problem is the current
package COMMON-LISP-USER already USEs the CMUCL EXTENSIONS package,
and there's already an ITERATE macro there:

  cmu> (describe 'ITERATE)

  ITERATE is an external symbol in the EXTENSIONS package.
  Macro-function: #<Byte function (:MACRO ITERATE) {28FA89D1}>
  Macro documentation:
    Iterate Name ({(Var Initial-Value)}*) Declaration* Form*
    This is syntactic sugar for Labels.  It creates a local function Name with
    the specified Vars as its arguments and the Declarations and Forms as its
    body.  This function is then called with the Initial-Values, and the result
    of the call is return from the macro.

So in order to USE the ITERATOR package [and as a parellel reply
noted, that might not be te best thing to do], you will need to do
a shadowing import of ITERATE:ITERATE into COMMON-LISP-USER *before*
doing a (USE-PACKAGE "ITERATOR").
