Re: Using MIT Scheme with Slime?

I also see the following error when *inferior-lisp* buffer starts with MIT Scheme: ;Unbound variable: create-package-from-description

Which is called in swank-mit-scheme.scm elisp code for (mit-scheme-init).

Under the mode line keep saying Polling /tmp/slime, which I assume is due a non working connection.

Unfortatunely, we don't have many Scheme users and the maintainers are Common Lisp users. If loading swank.scm failed, the swank server hasn't been set up and Emacs can't connect, as you guessed. You will need to debug swank.scm and fix that create-package-from-description unbound variable issue.
