(2) When starting SLIME under clisp on Cygwin, I get the error: *** - invalid byte #x90 in CHARSET:CP1252 conversion Startup transcript follows:
(load "/home/Administrator/mydocs/dl/slime-2.0/swank-loader.lisp" :verbose t) (swank:start-server "/cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/slime.4924" :external-format :iso-latin-1-unix)
It is a bit strange that you don't see something like ";; Loading file swank-loader.lisp".
Do you also get those errors if you execute the above forms in a normal CLISP session (without Emacs)? You can also try to remove the :external-format argument. If you get errors, please show us a backtrace.
If everything works in the normal session you can try to start Swank with swank:create-server instead of start-server and then connect from Emacs with M-x slime-connect.
You can also try to change default-process-coding-system in Emacs to latin-1 if it isn't already.
