Has anybody here tried working with Maxima in Slime? I have managed to figure out how to load it (start slime with sbcl, load maxima-build.lisp, then do (maxima-load) to load the fasl files) and typing (run) will start Maxima OK, but then when I tried to do load("./file.mac"); I got some kind of error (don't have exact error on this machine, but can be provided.)
that would be very helpfull.
OK, here we go:
CL-USER> (run) Maxima 5.9.1.1cvs http://maxima.sourceforge.net Using Lisp SBCL 0.9.1 Distributed under the GNU Public License. See the file COPYING. Dedicated to the memory of William Schelter. This is a development version of Maxima. The function bug_report() provides bug reporting information. (%i1) load("./unit.mac");
Maxima encountered a Lisp error:
The value #<SWANK-BACKEND::SLIME-INPUT-STREAM {9006619}> is not of type SB-KERNEL:ANSI-STREAM.
so maxima implements its own repl which doesn't play nice with slime. all things considered that's to be expected. you could try starting lisp, then creating a swank server with (swank:create-swank-server), then restoring the streams with (revert-global-io-redirection), then starting maxima, then connecting to the running lisp via M-x slime-connect. this may (or may not) work. the only thing which is sure to work is to teach maxima to not rely ansi-streams (which probably isn't a good thing to be doing anyway). -- -Marco Ring the bells that still can ring.
