Hi,

I am using the latest SBCL built from sources (1.0.0.10) and doing M-x slime gives me the following error:

; compiling file "/home/vamsee/lisp/slime/swank-sbcl.lisp" (written 27 NOV 2006 02:22:50 PM): (/usr/local/lib/sbcl/sb-bsd-sockets/constants.lisp /usr/local/lib/sbcl/sb-bsd-sockets/constants.fasl /usr/local/lib/sbcl/sb-bsd-sockets/constants.fasl /usr/local/lib/sbcl/sb-bsd-sockets/foo.c /usr/local/lib/sbcl/sb-bsd-sockets/a.out /usr/local/lib/sbcl/sb-bsd-sockets/constants.lisp-temp) ; compilation aborted after 0:00:00

I am using the latest slime too. Any help appreciated.

    If you are using asdf-binary-locations, try commenting it out from

your .sbclrc and tell us if it works better ('worked for me).

    So, what's the status of this problem finally ? While I can find a few

traces on the net, I couldn't figure out a proper way to fix it. I've tried again this morning with the latest CVS version and it's still present.

For the record, the cause (for me) is having

(asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op 'asdf-binary-locations) (defvar asdf::*source-to-target-mappings* '(("/usr/local/lib/sbcl/" nil)))

in my init file.

I am not using the latest SBCL, and mine is sbcl-1.0.1 which appears to be later than yours, so you might try updating your sbcl. I'm not having any problem. Here's my .sbclrc:

(in-package #:cl-user) (require :asdf) (push #p"/home/jcunningham/systems/" asdf:*central-registry*) (push #p"/usr/share/common-lisp/systems/" asdf:*central-registry*) (asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op :asdf-binary-locations) (setf asdf:*source-to-target-mappings* '((#p"/home/jcunningham/lib/sbcl/" nil) (#p"/home/jcunningham/lib64/sbcl/" nil))) (setf asdf:*centralize-lisp-binaries* t)
