I appreciate any guidance on how to accomplish this.  I'm using MIT Scheme 9.1.1.

I followed the README here:

I added the following to ~/.scheme.init

(load-option 'format) (load "~/.emacs.d/lisp/swank.scm" (->environment '(runtime swank)))

and added relevant portions of swank.scm and swank-mit-scheme.scm to .emacs suggested by :

There is an abort issue when starting MIT REPL:

M-x run-mit

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.

Appreciate any guidance.

Thanks
