Hello!
Well what I was trying to do was to run the example as I didn't trust my own code! So from SLIME i (as described in the documentation) invoked:
(clim-demo::accepting-interval)
The same thing didn't work when trying directly when loading CMUCL from the command line... The above code is same as in the 0.9.1 distro.
Perhpas this has something to do with the multiprocessing? Forgive my naivete but I am a newbie to LISP. I tried to do (mp::startup-idle-and-top-level-loops) but that doesnt seem to work (just says "no value") with SLIME so i have googled and instead set the elisp variable slime-multiprocessing to t. I don't know if this is the same or how to chech which processes are active - is there some kind of "top" for LISP? Any pointers to good documentation here? I have found clim-ug.pdf and expect to do some serious weekend reading.
Are you guys using slime? what I basically want to do as a first step is to create a command called "tree-draw" which draws a tree diagram of my data from the slime command line.
What is the best way to create a window so I can do some simple stuff like (clim:draw-line* *my-sheet* 200 10 10 150) to make my tree diagram. I wan't the tree drawing to use data created by running previous commands from the slime command line.
Later I want to create a full app with a root window and child windows for different graphs, status info, configuration dialogs and other things. Any ideas on where I can find sources for a more full bodied app to look at and lean from?
Thanks for your help so far!

PS CLIM seems cool, a lot more elegant than programming in Java for instance. But it seems a bit hard to get into due to lack of newbie style documentation - I am happy to write together the feedback and collection of "non-obvious but simple" stuff that an beginner needs to know for publication somewhere suitable! Good idea?
What works for me: gadget-test calculator

Looking at your backtrace, it appears that accepting-values is being called on a stream from SLIME rather than a CLIM stream, so naturally there are no applicable methods. CLIM usually binds *standard-input* and *standard-output* to reasonable defaults (see frame-standard-input, frame-standard-output which make this choice). I don't know why that isn't happening here without seeing your code, maybe it is running in an unusual context (like before the frame toplevel binds those stream variables, or in an event handler). In any case, all you need to do is obtain the appropriate CLIM streams (via any of frame-standard-input, get-frame-pane, etc) for your window and write to those.

Hello all!
I am trying to get into mcCLIM to write a frontend to a text (news) analysis tool... I use CMUCL and have followed the INSTALL.CMU file and most of the demos work fine. But as I get down to it and start writing code to use "accepting-values" for instance I get the message below. I also get it when running the demos so i assume that something is wrong with the environment... but what? It's probably something simple but I have tried to figgure it out for a lot of hours and some ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

PS I tried wihout SLIME but that didn't work either. See second trace below.
