That did the trick. Thanks a lot for your help, Helmut. Jeremiah On Wed, Jun 30, 2010 at 11:57 PM, Helmut Eller <heller@common-lisp.net> wrote:

I'm new to Emacs/Lisp and I'm trying to get remote editing working. I have swank running in Allegro Common Lisp 8.0 and REPL appears to work as expected. The problem lies in the filename translation when I try to compile a file.

When I start up emacs I get this message: "Symbol's function definition is void: slime-create-filename-translator."

This is the relevant part of my .emacs:

(setq inferior-lisp-program "/usr/bin/clisp"      lisp-indent-function 'common-lisp-indent-function      slime-complete-symbol-function 'slime-fuzzy-complete-symbol      slime-startup-animation t) (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/slime") (require 'slime-autoloads) (slime-setup '(slime-fancy slime-banner slime-tramp slime-presentations slime-asdf))

(push (slime-create-filename-translator :machine-instance "#xbc930fc3"                                                        :remote "tinky-winky.cs.bham.ac.uk"                                                        :username "jxv911")    slime-filename-translations)

If you do it this way loading of slime-tramp (and hence slime-create-filename-translator) is delayed until you start slime the frist time.  Try something like:

(defun my-slime-load-hook ()  (push (slime-create-filename-translator ...) slime-filename-translations))

(add-hook 'slime-load-hook 'my-slime-load-hook t)

Note the APPEND argument to add-hook; slime-setup also uses slime-load-hook to load slime-tramp so it's important that your hook is run after that.
