This is probably a very basic question for someone. I am reading Practical Common lisp, I have set up slime in emacs and that works fine, however I cannot access the REPL in emacs. Yet sbcl is easily available at a terminal prompt.

What happens when you do "M-x slime"? What is the value of inferior-lisp-program? What platform is this? How are you trying to access the repl? What do you mean by "working fine"?
