Looks like FreeBSD is behind - not all that surprising. I try to stick to the ports tree because then upgrades are more or less automated and I don't have to manually version-track, but I'll give that a shot.
Unfortunately, SBCL progresses very quickly, and releases once a month - so it's not surprising that ports would be behind.
SLIME works fine on my Arch Linux box, which has SBCL 0.8.14, so I guess that's possible. Did slime have problems on SBCL 0.8.12, or has it just been changed to only work with the newer version?
Thanks for the quick response.
0.8.13 introduced some new features specially for SLIME. As a result, SLIME references some symbols that aren't external in previous versions of SBCL, and this causes a compile error.
