Hi, First, I want to thank the developers for this Lisp IDE. It's very cool. But.... I was trying to compile a file with C-c M-k, and the file started out
(defpackage "my-package" (:intern <stuff>) (:use "COMMON-LISP")) (in-package "my-package")
Now, this is my first attempt at compiling a CL file (under SBCL 0.9.18), with or with a package involved. And it kept spitting out errors for the stuff after these two lines, and I could not for the life of me see why. Clearly it had something to do with the package declaration, because when I commented the above two lines out, I was able to compile the rest of the file. So I drop into a command line SBCL session, and the file compiled just fine.
Anyway, I just wanted to let you know, this was very confusing for a CL newbie (been a Schemer for years, just not CL). It doesn't appear to be in the documentation anywhere. I did find some emails that looked vaguely related from the archives of this list using the gmane interface, but it wasn't something I could easily understand.
I'm wondering, as CL developers, how do you get around this issue? It seems like it would be a problem.
Thanks, Lynn
