yeah, it is loaded under "/usr/share/common-lisp/source/slime/swank-loader.lisp"
I tried changing my .emacs file accordingly to say: (setq inferior-lisp-program "/usr/bin/clisp") (add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/common-lisp/source/slime") <--- i changed this line (require 'slime) (slime-setup)
I get a different error this time: *** - LOAD: A file with name /usr/share/emacs/22.1/site-lisp/slime/swank-loader.lisp does not exist The following restarts are available: ABORT :R1 ABORT
Weird. This is an ubuntu installation that is a couple of years old (ubuntu 7.04 feisty). Since this is a popular distribution, I would imagine other people would have had a similar problem. I am baffled as to why this is happening. I look all over the web. Thanks for helping out. I usually don't try to bother the developers of the program with stuff. But if I find a solution, I'll post it on my blog with keywords so some other poor guy will have a solution.
