Hello,

I'm having problems with the find definition functionality of Slime with Allegro 8.0 - whenever I load a different image to the default Allegro one.

I put a simple definition in a local file, y:/home/foo.lisp:

(defun foo() "foo!")

I start up Slime and connect to Allegro, do (load "y:/home/foo.lisp") from the lisp prompt in emacs, M-. foo, and my foo.lisp immediately opens.

On the other hand, if I load one of the image of the product I was hoping to use Slime to develop, load foo.lisp and do M-. foo, I get the error below.

Could anyone help me get to the bottom of this? Many thanks, Tom Weissmann
