Hi,
I couldn't get the latest SLIME to work with ECL, but it turns out I can't get it to work at all. After doing a CVS checkout today (2009-08-04), when I run SLIME with sbcl, I get the following in my *inferior-lisp* buffer.
(progn (load "/home/dventimi/.local/share/emacs/site-lisp/slime/swank-loader.lisp" :verbose t) (funcall (read-from-string "swank-loader:init")) (funcall (read-from-string "swank:start-server") "/tmp/slime.16934" :coding-system "iso-latin-1-unix"))
This is SBCL 1.0.18.debian, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp. More information about SBCL is available at http://www.sbcl.org/.
