Hi.
Sorry if this these are old issues already. I just recently became a subscriber to this list.
I've been using SLIME a few years on Linux, and it was fine, and actually set up by others.
Recently, I tried setting it up on Windows by myself. Not so smooth.
I followed the basic documentation, which was basically
(require 'slime) (slime-setup)
But that did not start a REPL, but just the *inferior-lisp* buffer. After a while, I looked around, and I found some "chatter" about having to do
(require 'slime-fancy) (slime-setup).
That almost worked in XEmacs, and did work in GNU Emacs. Is that really what the average user is supposed to do?
No, you it should've been (slime-setup '(slime-fancy))
The main doc on installation pointed to from here:
http://common-lisp.net/project/slime/
which doc is here:
http://common-lisp.net/project/slime/doc/html/Installation.html#Installation
says this is what you should do:
(require 'slime) (slime-setup)I.e., the first thing I tried. So, is the basic doc wrong? What's the deal?
The deal is that it's not loaded by default. Don't ask me why.
