First post here. I&#39;m a newbie to all things lisp. Hopefully this is the place to ask...<div><br></div><div>So I&#39;m on Ubuntu 10.04 and I&#39;ve successfully installed Clisp and SBCL. Clisp was apt-getted; SBCL was installed from latest Linuxx86 &quot;binaries.&quot; Both work in terminals. Clisp actually works with Slime, but SBCL not. This is what Slime starting with SBCL gives:</div>

Actually, my Emacs (23.1.1), my Slime (1:20090908-1 according to Synaptic) and Clisp were all apt-got. Can this be sorted out? Or must I blitz my hard drive, install NetBSD, Stump, and everything Lisp from source?</div>
