I'm new to LISP and SLIME, and I'm trying to install SLIME 2.0 on Emacs 21.4, on Debian Linux (Linspire 4.0), with SBCL 0.8.16. Emacs and SBCL seem to work
SBCL 0.8.16 is _really_ old, and while Slime 2.0 isn't exactly a tender youth either, the effort of getting those two to play togather is better spent elsewhere.
Current SBCL version is 0.9.17. The easiest way to move ahead is to get the current SBCL version, and install it under /usr/local using the install.sh that comes with it.
If that doesn't sort you out, then replacing 2.0 with the CVS Slime will. (Just put it eg. under ~/elisp/slime).
