Hi Marco:
Thanks you and the others for responding. I used the elisp code you send changing paths and file to agree with my system and things are beginning to work. It looks like the swank server is not running (I didn't see it -- ps aux ). Thanks for the assistance and any further comments/guidance will be greatly appreciated.
DETAILS
Here is my code now in .emacs (see 2 comments:
;;; SLIME & OpenMCL (add-to-list 'load-path "/Users/robo2/Lisp/slime/") (setq browse-url-browser-function (lambda (url &optional new-window) (message url) (do-applescript (concat "tell application "Safari" to open location "" url """))))
(setq common-lisp-hyperspec-root "file:///Users/robo2/Lisp/HyperSpec-6-0/HyperSpec/" common-lisp-hyperspec-symbol-table "/Users/robo2/Lisp/HyperSpec-6-0/HyperSpec/Data/Map_Sym.txt" ;; Your file was Symbol-Table.text cltl2-root-url "file:///Users/mb/lisp/info/cltl") ; I don't have anything equivalent to this
(require 'slime)
(setf lisp-indent-function 'common-lisp-indent-function)
;; NB: this is the path to the openmcl executable (setf inferior-lisp-program "/Users/robo2/Lisp/ccl/openmcl")
My emacs screen looks like this after "M-x slime":
