,--- You/Mark (Sat, 17 Apr 2010 01:14:42 -0400) ----* | > With this minimal .el, the problem exists for me (an empty SLIME | > menu): | I installed your initialization code (modified for my `load-path' and | Lisp implementation) and started it with Emacs 23.1 and the latest | revisions of SLIME's files in its CVS repository, and started Emacs | with Thanks for trying it all! | emacs -Q --load your-slime-init.el | | I did not see the problems that you are seeing with menus. | | Some things to try: | | - Be sure that you're specifying '-Q' or '--quick' to Emacs to | eliminate the possibility that some other Emacs-Lisp code is | interfering with your initialization code, above. It was with -Q. | - Delete all compiled Emacs-Lisp files (*.elc) in your SLIME directory | tree. I had deleted "them" (in fact there was only one: slime.elc -- i.e. I deleted that file.) | - Check the *Messages* buffer for any error messages that might | provide some information about why SLIME is not working. Did check that and other buffers -- no messages to talk about. Why your run may be different from mine: 1. I am on FreeBSD. 2. I use Emacs built from the source. Now, with your experience reported, I just tried another Emacs mode, SQL, and found that it also adds empty menus for me now (it was not the case in the past.) Never mind then; I hoped to hear a simple tip on a variable or method in SLIME code that adds menus, from people well familiar with the code, but I will just explore this on my own. Thank you again for your help! -- Alex -- alex-goncharov@comcast.net --
