Can't locate module: SWANK-IO-PACKAGE::SWANK-MACROSTEP
by David Hodge 31 Mar '16

Hi there, I recently upgraded slime via melpa and restarting emacs produced this message: " Can't locate module: SWANK-IO-PACKAGE::SWANK-MACROSTEP" and puts me into the common lisp debugger. Quitting the debugger aborts the slime start up. I can see the swank macrostep source in the distribution ( but it has not been compiled yet I think) so I am hoping someone more knowledgable might be able to advise me how to debug this? Best Regards

I would say MELPA should just have the latest macrostep. -- With best regards, Stas.

SLIME 2.17 and macrostep on MELPA stable: needs 0.9, only 0.8 available?
by Georges Ko 03 Mar '16

Hello, When trying to install SLIME 2.17 on MELPA stable, it needs macrostep-0.9, but only 0.8 is available. Can this explicit dependency be removed in SLIME, as macrostep.el is already in lib? Or make 0.9 available on MELPA stable? Georges -- Georges KO (gko(a)gko.net)
