Re: [slime-devel] Where does run-program output go?

On the other hand, if I run CMUCL outside of SLIME, it works as advertised. So, where is the output going?

The output is probably in the *inferior-lisp* buffer. SLIME only redirects output to the Lisp level stream; output to the Unix file descriptor is currently not touched. We could redirect it, but I'm not sure whether that would be an advantage.

And how can I capture it in a local variable?

Maybe: (with-output-to-string (s) (ext:run-program "ls" '("-la" "/bin") :output s) s) Helmut.
