Hi all,
I am not a lisp/emacs person. I am running emacs 23 in cygwin in winxp. I installed elpa. It more or less works. For instance when I do 'm-X package-list-packages' the various packages are listed. I know to use 'I' then 'x' to intstantiate them. For example, the 'bubbles' game package I can run m-X bubbles and some other packages fine.
Slime is listed there as installed, and slime.el is listed under my emacs.d directory, but when I 'm-X slime ', reply "no match"
You should contact the maintainers(s) of elpa who packaged SLIME as this mailing list (usually) only supports the installation/running of SLIME directly from CVS HEAD.
If you are looking for a completely packaged FOSS Emacs+SLIME+Lisp solution, you might try [Lispbox][1],
Adlai Chandrasekhar has put some work into renewing the Lispbox bundle; in particular, he added ClozureCL into the mix which works on Windows, too, and integrates much better into Slime.
The sources can be found at http://github.com/adlai/Lispbox
I'm not sure how accurate the build instructions are (README.source contains a link to Slime 1.2...)
Perhaps Adlai also provides prebuilt packages. I CC'd him.
