Hello.
I'm using Debian GNU/Linux (jessie) on amd64 architecture.
Usually, I do not have any problems with starting slime, but, now, whenever I issue the command "M-x slime" in Emacs, I get lots of STYLE-WARNING messages from sbcl showing redefinitions of swank functions, followed by "Polling" messages suggesting that I issue the command "M-x slime-abort-connection".
I have uploaded the part of my ~/.emacs.d/init.el file concerning the Slime connection to http://paste.lisp.org/+31M2.
This is really not enough to investigate your problem since I don't know what you have"/opt/ql/slime-helper.el" and I also don't know what kind of code you have compiled in your /opt/sbcl/lib/sbcl/sbcl.slime-core file
Can you paste slime-helper.el if it's not too big of a file?
Have you tried launching slime with the official installation recipe, meaning the following code and nothing else?
;; setup load-path and autoloads (add-to-list 'load-path "~/dir/to/cloned/slime") (require 'slime-autoloads)
;; Set your lisp system and, optionally, some contribs (setq inferior-lisp-program "/opt/sbcl/bin/sbcl") (setq slime-contribs '(slime-fancy))
This should work, then try replacing the penultimate line with
(setq inferior-lisp-program "/opt/sbcl/bin/sbcl --noinform --core /opt/sbcl/lib/sbcl/sbcl.slime-core")
