Please either use a non-ancient release of SBCL, or else use a version of slime which was current at the time that your SBCL was released.
- SBCL 0.8.16 is the latest version in the Debian Sarge which is the
current stable release. And no, I can not install 'unstable' on the server.
You do not need to install 'unstable' on your server: just as you have installed slime from source (because slime was not packaged for Debian Sarge) you can install a modern sbcl from source.
And it's only a couple of months old anyway.
SBCL 0.8.16 was released almost 14 months ago; there have been 13 upstream releases since then, including one major version increment.
- How do I know which version of SLIME to install?
You can download the CVS version which was current at the time of release using commands like cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@common-lisp.net:/project/slime/cvsroot login cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@common-lisp.net:/project/slime/cvsroot \ co -D'2004-10-25' slime
