I recently picked the latest slime code from cvs and attempted to run it using sbcl. I can't seem to get it to work and I'm not sure where to start looking for the problem. Perhaps my blindness is due to the fact that I'm absolutely new to lisp programming.
Below is the output from M-x slime:
(load "/home/nochiel/my-code/lisp/el/slime/swank-loader.lisp" :verbose t) (swank:start-server "/tmp/slime.6027" :external-format :iso-latin-1-unix)
