[slime-devel] a different sbcl/slime problem (using recent versions)

Hi. I've downloaded sbcl 0.9.7 and the CVS version of slime (on 15 December 2005), and I can't seem to get it to work. It looks like everything's compiling OK, and then eventually, I get a message (in the *inferior lisp* buffer) like * ;; Swank started at port: 33165. NIL * and about 2/3 second later, I get Process inferior-lisp hangup and at the bottom, the messsage "Lisp connection closed unexpectedly: exited abnormally with code 256." Any thoughts on what could be causing this? (I got the exact same error with the debian testing versions of sbcl and slime, so I tried installing the newest (I removed and dpkg --purge'd the debian packages) versions, but that didn't help. Cheers, rif

This is usually some Linux kernel (2.6.4-2.6.11) issue and the usual workaround is to start sbcl with "nohup sbcl".

In the past, this has been caused by a specific Linux kernel interaction. New kernels don't exhibit the problem. A temporary fix is to run sbcl as "nohup sbcl". Zach
