Hi,

Any idea why I'm having a problem getting Slime to run on Fedora 16 (64-bit)? SBCL, Emacs, Slime, and ASDF all installed from Fedora repos.

I read some prior posts and the problem, on Ubuntu/Debian, seemed to have been solved by "purging" slime and swank. Same solution on Fedora, with re-install from Slime website?

My .emacs file:

[michael@sabal ~]$ cat .emacs

(add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/slime/")  ; your SLIME directory

(setq inferior-lisp-program "/usr/bin/sbcl") ; your Lisp system

(require 'slime)

(slime-setup)

[michael@sabal ~]$

============ Emacs complaint=============

(progn (load "/usr/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.18421" :coding-system "iso-latin-1-unix"))

This is SBCL 1.0.51-1.fc16, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp.
