I'm new to Emacs/Lisp and I'm trying to get remote editing working. I have swank running in Allegro Common Lisp 8.0 and REPL appears to work as expected. The problem lies in the filename translation when I try to compile a file.
When I start up emacs I get this message: "Symbol's function definition is void: slime-create-filename-translator."
This is the relevant part of my .emacs:
(setq inferior-lisp-program "/usr/bin/clisp" lisp-indent-function 'common-lisp-indent-function slime-complete-symbol-function 'slime-fuzzy-complete-symbol slime-startup-animation t) (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/slime") (require 'slime-autoloads) (slime-setup '(slime-fancy slime-banner slime-tramp slime-presentations slime-asdf))
(push (slime-create-filename-translator :machine-instance "#xbc930fc3" :remote "tinky-winky.cs.bham.ac.uk" :username "jxv911") slime-filename-translations)
If you do it this way loading of slime-tramp (and hence slime-create-filename-translator) is delayed until you start slime the frist time. Try something like:
(defun my-slime-load-hook () (push (slime-create-filename-translator ...) slime-filename-translations))
(add-hook 'slime-load-hook 'my-slime-load-hook t)
Note the APPEND argument to add-hook; slime-setup also uses slime-load-hook to load slime-tramp so it's important that your hook is run after that.
