Hello again Robert,

Is there any known issue with the included slime for mkcl 1.1.0 rc2? When I try mkcl stops working without giving a back trace.
Environment: Windows 7 x64 GNU Emacs 24.1.1 (build from gnu ftp site)
I just tried with Emacs 24.1.1 and it worked without problem.
If you upgraded from MKCL 1.1.0 RC1 and had used slime previously with it then there is probably an issue with the slime cache. Can you try to flush it? It is located at
%HOME%.slime\fasl\2010-11-13\mkcl-1.1.0-windows-x86-64
and Emacs usually sets: HOME=%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\AppData\Roaming
I normally just delete that directory and it gets rebuilt on the next slime invocation.
A problem with the slime cache would have shown up in the *inferior-lisp* buffer. Could you send me a complete copy of the *inferior-lisp* buffer content, along with a complete copy of the *slime-events* buffer also?
I hope that you have something like (setq *load-verbose* t *compile-verbose* t) in your ~/.mkclrc before you start slime. The content of *inferior-lisp* is somewhat more informative then.
At first I thought that some output wasn't making it to the *inferior-lisp* buffer so I launched the mkcl repl and manually started up swank
(load "c:/Program Files/MKCL 1.1/slime/swank-loader.lisp" :verbose t) (swank-loader:init) (swank:create-server :coding-system "utf-8-unix")
I am not familiar with the requirements of starting slime manually but naively, I would have used swank:start-server instead of swank:create-server.
The server starts with no issue but when I do the slime-connect from Emacs a Windows message box pops up saying that "mkcl.exe has stopped working"
Can I have also a full transcript of that REPL session.
Thanks for your help,
Jean-Claude
P.S.: Are you still interested in a Quicklisp port to MKCL? I have one on github right now in process of being merged with the official Quicklisp master branch.
