[slime-devel] Problem with SLIME & CLISP
by Lei Tang 12 Aug '06

12 Aug '06

I have just configured slime with xemacs associated with Clisp. It works fine when I switch to "slime mode" if I type M-x slime. However, when I exit xemacs, there's always coming up with a process "lisp.exe" which exhaust all the cpu resources and never ends. I have to kill it manually. My OS is windows xp. I installed Xemacs 21.4.19 and CLISP 2.39; the slime package is the latest cvs version. The following is the init file I used: ;============= SLIME Setup ==================================== (add-to-list 'load-path "D:/XEmacs/slime") ; your SLIME directory (setq inferior-lisp-program "D:/Clisp/clisp-2.39/clisp.exe -I") ; (require 'slime) (slime-setup) Any suggestions? Thanks a lot for your help! -Lei

[slime-devel] Questions about the Inspector documentation
by Jonathon McKitrick 10 Aug '06

10 Aug '06

I'm trying to figure out something in section as 3.2.8. The keys for the inspector do not seem to agree with what I can get to work. For example, it seems 'n' and 'SPC' are 'inverse' of 'l', but none of them see to do anything. Also, I don't see docs for 'p' but it does something similar to 'd'. Are there up-to-date docs that might explain these features? Jonathon McKitrick -- My other computer is your Windows box.

Re: [slime-devel] Corman 2.51 (again)
by James Kirkland 10 Aug '06

>A couple of people on the Corman forums have asked Roger about SLIME support, so >hopefully before 2.6 is released he will have a look at it and perhaps even >incorporate Espen's patches. But he's a busy guy, so don't hold your breath. Well, Roger's response was "we haven't had a chance to look at SLIME support yet" and since his target release date is "any day now" it doesn't look good. On the one hand, I believe part of the incompatibility issue is due to some non-standard stuff in CormanLisp, and so you might be tempted to think that the best way to fix this is to fix CormanLisp. On the other hand, SLIME is written specifically to support different Lisp implementations, not the other way around. If CormanLisp doesn't work with SLIME anymore, and it used to, then SLIME has broken something in it's support of CormanLisp. I would much rather see effort put into getting SLIME to work with 2.6 when it comes out later this month than to have valuable time wasted on 2.51 support. But chances are that whatever is causing SLIME to not work anymore with 2.51 will probably still be the case with 2.6. If it is fixed to work with 2.51 now, there will probably be much less to fix (if anything) with 2.6 later.

[slime-devel] Profiling worked once, then quit
by Jonathon McKitrick 10 Aug '06

10 Aug '06

Hi all, I tried slime-profile-package on one of my packages, and it worked fine. But every attempt after that, with this package and others failed. It says 'the variable NIL does not designate any package'. Looking at the backtrace, the variable 'package' is bound correctly at one point, and then the very next frame up, it is NIL. I'm running 0.9.14 SBCL with Aquamacs 0.9.9d/SLIME on a MacBook (Intel). Any help would be appreciated. Jonathon McKitrick -- My other computer is your Windows box.

[slime-devel] Corman 2.51 (again)
by John Stoneham 09 Aug '06

09 Aug '06

I've got a fresh install of Corman Lisp 2.51 on Windows XP SP2, and a fresh install of SLIME CVS. I followed the instruction on http://www.grumblesmurf.org/lisp/corman-patches to create a patched image, but it seems something may have changed in the SLIME CVS (again) because trying to load swank-loader.lisp breaks. Back in October 2005, there was a change in swank.lisp which required an updated patch to Corman Lisp (in misc-ansi.lisp I believe, posted on grumblesmurf.org) to get it to work again. Has something else now broken it once more? Here's the error I get (which probably doesn't help much): -------------------------- ;; Corman Lisp 2.51 Copyright (c) 2005 Corman Technologies.
