Hi,
Slime used to work for me, a couple months ago. Then I didn't touch it for a couple months and now when I «M-x slime» things load and compile for a bit, then I get the message:
Lisp connection closed unexpectedly: exited abnormally with code 256
I tried updating my copy of Slime to the current CVS version. I tried deleting the .fasl files in ~/.slime/fasl. I am a total newb so I don't know what else I can try. Any suggestions? My emacs is Gnu Emacs 21.3. My lisp is SBCL 0.9.4.
Hi John,
I don't know why it didn't work before your CVS update, but I wouldn't expect 0.9.4 to work with CVS SLIME. You should try upgrading your SBCL if you want to use this version of SLIME.
If that doesn't help, rm -rf ~/.slime and watch the *inferior-lisp* buffer for any compilation warnings or errors. Also, are you on Linux? If so, what version of the kernel? There have been several kernel bugs in various 2.6 versions from 2.6.9 to 2.6.11 which interact badly with SBCL. -- Brian Mastenbrook brian@mastenbrook.net http://brian.mastenbrook.net/
