Please either use a non-ancient release of SBCL, or else use a version of slime which was current at the time that your SBCL was released.
1) SBCL 0.8.16 is the latest version in the Debian Sarge which is the current stable release. And no, I can not install 'unstable' on the server. And it's only a couple of months old anyway. I know that Debian is quite conservative and lag quite a bit from the upstream, but I think that backward incompatability for a very popular distro is a "Bad Thing (tm)". 2) How do I know which version of SLIME to install?
Thanks.
