I am trying to understand (and fix) the following problem.
I am running clisp on cygwin & windows. Slime is running from windows' emacs.
If I launch clisp from a terminal (either cygwin's or windows' cmd.exe), commands such as
> (ext:run-shell-command "pwd")
work. So, it does not seem to matter where I call clisp from.
But if I try the same from within slime, I get NIL.
The value of `inferior-lisp-program' points to the clisp executable: c:\cygwin\bin\clisp.exe
Thanks,
Mirko
