Hi all,

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
fine, but I'm getting the following messages when
invoking M-x slime RET (after configuring .emacs as
explained in several on-line tutorials I have
consulted):

(load "/usr/share/slime-2.0/swank-loader.lisp"
:verbose t)
(swank:start-server "/tmp/slime.17879"
:external-format :iso-latin-1-unix)

This is SBCL 0.8.16, an implementation of ANSI Common
Lisp.
More information about SBCL is available at
<http://www.sbcl.org/>.

SBCL is free software, provided as is, with absolutely
no warranty.
It is mostly in the public domain; some portions are

debugger invoked on a SIMPLE-ERROR in thread 17906:
  Unknown foreign symbol: "linux_no_threads_p"

You can type HELP for debugger help, or (SB-EXT:QUIT)
to exit from SBCL.

-- (end of the buffer text from Emacs --

This is what I appended to my .emacs file:

	(add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/slime-2.0/") 
	(require 'slime)
	(add-hook 'lisp-mode-hook (lambda () (slime-mode t)))
	(add-hook 'inferior-lisp-mode-hook (lambda ()
(inferior-slime-mode t)))
	(setq inferior-lisp-program "sbcl") 
	(setq common-lisp-hyperspec-root
"/usr/share/HyperSpec")

Any help will be appreciated.

I have a very similar setup ... and I made sure that I set my lisp executable path first, my other paths ... my auto load lists ... and LAST did my require slime ...

anyways ... I haven't tried them in another order ...  but, since I know that SLIME cares about where and how it finds your lisp executable ... giving it a path to that before trying to run SLIME seems the most logical to me.

Hope that helps ... if not, sorry.
