For the archive, I've discovered the problem. For some reason, a call to (swank-loader:init) must be made before the server is started.

G'Day Gentlemen,
I'm building a new development environment and am noticing some problems loading swank. The environment is:
OpenSolaris 2008.11 Amazon AMI SBCL 1.0.23 Latest slime from CVS (2009-03--07)
The error is:
* (load "/root/slime/swank-loader.lisp")
T * (swank:create-server)
debugger invoked on a SB-INT:SIMPLE-READER-PACKAGE-ERROR: SB-INT:SIMPLE-READER-PACKAGE-ERROR at 173892 on #<SYNONYM-STREAM :SYMBOL SB-SYS:*STDIN* {480D7E41}>: package "SWANK" not found
Type HELP for debugger help, or (SB-EXT:QUIT) to exit from SBCL.
restarts (invokable by number or by possibly-abbreviated name): 0: [ABORT] Exit debugger, returning to top level.
(SB-IMPL::READ-TOKEN #<SYNONYM-STREAM :SYMBOL SB-SYS:*STDIN* {480D7E41}> #\s)
Unfortunately, I'm a bit new to this environment, so that's about as far as I can take the debugging. My first thought however is to ask if this can be run in an Amazon AMI, or is this likely to cause problems?
Cheers, - SteveN
