Quoth Sebastian Tennant <sebyte@smolny.plus.com>:
Non-ASCII characters break the connection to the REPL:
I can confirm that if I don't use sbcl.core-with-swank the problem doesn't occur. So, could something be amiss in swank-loader.lisp, or lacking in the instructions perhaps: The steps to execute are: shell$ sbcl * (load ".../slime/swank-loader.lisp") * (swank-loader:dump-image "sbcl.core-with-swank") Then add this to your `.emacs': (setq slime-lisp-implementations '((sbcl ("sbcl" "--core" "sbcl.core-with-swank") :init (lambda (port-file _) (format "(swank:start-server %S)\n" port-file))))) I added an extra keyword argument to my 'sbcl' lisp implementation: :coding-system utf-8-unix but removing it does not resolve the problem.
