Hi all,

I'm new to LISP and SLIME, and I'm trying to install SLIME 2.0 on Emacs 21.4, on Debian Linux (Linspire 4.0), with SBCL 0.8.16. Emacs and SBCL seem to work fine, but I'm getting the following messages when invoking M-x slime RET (after configuring .emacs as explained in several on-line tutorials I have consulted):

(load "/usr/share/slime-2.0/swank-loader.lisp" :verbose t) (swank:start-server "/tmp/slime.17879" :external-format :iso-latin-1-unix)

This is SBCL 0.8.16, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp. More information about SBCL is available at http://www.sbcl.org/.

SBCL is free software, provided as is, with absolutely no warranty. It is mostly in the public domain; some portions are provided under BSD-style licenses. See the CREDITS and COPYING files in the distribution for more information.

You can type HELP for debugger help, or (SB-EXT:QUIT) to exit from SBCL.

-- (end of the buffer text from Emacs --

This is what I appended to my .emacs file:

(add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/slime-2.0/") (require 'slime) (add-hook 'lisp-mode-hook (lambda () (slime-mode t))) (add-hook 'inferior-lisp-mode-hook (lambda () (inferior-slime-mode t))) (setq inferior-lisp-program "sbcl") (setq common-lisp-hyperspec-root "/usr/share/HyperSpec")

Any help will be appreciated.

I have a very similar setup ... and I made sure that I set my lisp executable path first, my other paths ... my auto load lists ... and LAST did my require slime ...

anyways ... I haven't tried them in another order ... but, since I know that SLIME cares about where and how it finds your lisp executable ... giving it a path to that before trying to run SLIME seems the most logical to me.

Hope that helps ... if not, sorry.
