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. - SteveN ________________________________ From: Nunez Steve <steve_nunez@yahoo.com> To: slime-devel@common-lisp.net Sent: Saturday, March 7, 2009 6:16:27 PM Subject: [slime-devel] Swank Fails to load 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
