[slime-devel] no applicable method for the generic function SWANK-BACKEND:SPAWN - slime-devel - mailman3.common-lisp.net

7 Jul 2004


      I was using an older version in XEmacs, then did a cvs update today.
Using sbcl-mt, slime now ends in an error:
M-x slime
ends with
* ;; Swank started at port: 32846.
debugger invoked on a SIMPLE-ERROR in thread 2825:
  There is no applicable method for the generic function
    #<STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION SWANK-BACKEND:SPAWN (0)>
  when called with arguments
    (# :NAME "Swank").
You can type HELP for debugger help, or (SB-EXT:QUIT) to exit from SBCL.
restarts (invokable by number or by possibly-abbreviated name):
  0: [ABORT   ] Reduce debugger level (leaving debugger, returning to toplevel).
  1: [TOPLEVEL] Restart at toplevel READ/EVAL/PRINT loop.
