I can show specific error messages I've gotten, if they might help.
They might help, yes. Also, which version of SBCL is the in fink?
lisp-indent-functioin 'common-lisp-indent-function ^^
Typo, not that it should affect loading of slime.
(add-hook 'lisp-mode-hook (lambda () (require 'slime) (slime-mode t) (slime-setup)))
I would recommend calling (require 'slime) outside the hook, as a top level form in .emacs, but dunno if that is the cause of your woes. If that does not help, I would get Slime from CVS and SBCL from www.sbcl.org just to eliminate packager braindamage. Cheers, -- Nikodemus Schemer: "Buddha is small, clean, and serious."
