I'm running Mac OS X 10.4.7, and I've tried getting slime to work with the OS's emacs, xemacs and emacs21 from fink, as well as a Carbon Emacs package that was linked from the Apple downloads site. I've tried the slime from fink, slime from cvs, and downloaded tgz, and the slime that came bundled in the Carbon Emacs. I've tried using clisp, cmucl, sbcl, and openmcl, and nothing I've tried works. Below is my current .emacs file, which is set to use slime from the tgz file, and sbcl from fink. If anyone can offer any help with any particular slime on Mac OS X setup that I've tried, please let me know, and I can show specific error messages I've gotten, if they might help.
