Unfortunately there is no directory ~/.slime and there are no files *.fasl other than those accompanying the common lisp install. So I am unable to use this fix.
I have no idea how that can be. Creating the ~/.slime dir is about the first thing we do. Maybe it's a Gentoo issue?
Yes, it is a Gentoo thing. I received this reply from the Gentoo maintainer:
"There is no ~/.slime FASL cache because the Gentoo ports are created to use the general cache in /var/cache/common-lisp-controller. If you are using SBCL, try removing old FASLs from there using this command:
"rm -rf /var/cache/common-lisp-controller/<your-username>/sbcl/*"
Unfortunately, after executing this command slime still hangs exactly as before.
Any ideas?
I run slime on Gentoo, but I don't use the Gentoo port. Try installing slime out of CVS directly. Then it creates the ~/.slime directory like its supposed to and everything works.
