Hey, it worked! Thanks man, let me buy you a beer!
I'll post this on my blog so some poor soul whose trying to get lisp running on their ubuntu installation. I'll be sure to post this solution on my blog as well as another lisp board where people had trouble with this issue.
Thank you, I usually don't like bothering the developers of the project.

Keep the trailing slash, just in case. After that you should at least be able to load swank-loader.lisp.
It would be good to report this problem to the maintainers of the Ubuntu package: http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/devel/slime
