First post here. I'm a newbie to all things lisp. Hopefully this is the place to ask...
Please post plain text messages on this list.
So I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 and I've successfully installed Clisp and SBCL. Clisp was apt-getted; SBCL was installed from latest Linuxx86 "binaries." Both work in terminals. Clisp actually works with Slime, but SBCL not. This is what Slime starting with SBCL gives:
SBCL is free software, provided as is, with absolutely no warranty. It is mostly in the public domain; some portions are provided under BSD-style licenses. See the CREDITS and COPYING files in the distribution for more information.

Alas, the limbo between hand-installed and apt-get wizardry therein I am no doubt lost. Actually, my Emacs (23.1.1), my Slime (1:20090908-1 according to Synaptic) and Clisp were all apt-got. Can this be sorted out? Or must I blitz my hard drive, install NetBSD, Stump, and everything Lisp from source?
The Ubuntu/Debian Slime package is broken; they patched swank-loader.lisp and introduced the problem. Send a bug report to the Ubuntu/Debian lisp maintainers.
