Hello,

Thanks for all your help. I´ve followed the instructions you guys gave me and now when I do M-x slime, and inferior-buffer appears, loading lisp (I´ve tried clisp and sbcl), however, when I edit a lisp file and try to do something with it (ie: compile) I get the same not connected message.  Anyone know why is this?

Thanks.

You should set inferior-lisp-program to the external Common Lisp
program, not Emacs. E.g. /usr/bin/sbcl.

You can start and connect to the external Lisp with `M-x slime'.
