I am trying to compile slime for sbcl 0.8.14 running on a Debian PowerPC computer. The compilation fails as follows:
; compiling file "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/slime/swank-sbcl.lisp (written 04 SEP 2004 08:38:20)
debugger invoked on a SB-INT:EXTENSION-FAILURE in thread 2952: Don't know how to REQUIRE SB-BSD-SOCKETS. See also: The SBCL Manual, Variable SB-EXT:*MODULE-PROVIDER-FUNCTIONS* The SBCL Manual, Function REQUIRE
It fails with the CVS version as well as with 1.0.
Is there anything I am missing ?
Where did you get your SBCL? Is it properly installed?
Part of the slime build process is to pull in various modules from the sbcl distribution that are not part of the default core: SB-BSD-SOCKETS is one, but there's also SB-INTROSPECT and SB-POSIX to pull in. If REQUIRE isn't working for you, then either you've found a bug, or your SBCL isn't properly installed.
Cheers,
