Hello all,
I have somehow completely broked my slime or emacs. After doing M-x slime the *inferior-lisp* buffer is left on display and in minibuffer it says "Connecting to Swank on port NNNN..", but it doesn't proceed from there.
Some chap on #lisp just reported the following:
(01:07:03) hnaz: hm. emacs-23.0.50 + slime-cvs + sbcl-1.0.8.19 + linux-2.6.23-rc4 won't work together (01:07:28) hnaz: hangs at `Connecting to swank on port 23...' (01:07:50) hnaz: the sbcl is up and running, it evaluates expressions, but the repl won't come up (01:08:18) hnaz: running the same software on linux-2.6.22.1 works fine.
This sounds a lot like your issue. If really so, could you try a different kernel version, please?
This is the bug! I can confirm that 2.6.21-ish kernel works ok, while 2.6.23-rc3 fails. Many thanks Tobias!
Now I'm curious why is that ... let's see if hnaz is still on #lisp
