Hello,
While using CVS HEAD ECL and CVS HEAD Slime, I can using ASDF load the swank server on the ECL side and connect using emacs and slime to that instance, disconnect, reconnect, and everything works fine.
However, the documentation at: http://common-lisp.net/project/slime/doc/html/Setting-up-the-lisp-image.html... suggests that simply loading swank-loader.lisp should also work. Loading the file works fine, but swank:create-server is then an undefined function. Also, the swank package itself doesn't seem to exist then.
Thanks,
