'm having trouble getting SLIME to start with LispWorks 5.0. I'm running the latest CVS of SLIME and I don't have any problems with CLISP or SBCL.
I started Emacs without loading my configuration file ("emacs -q"), then loaded SLIME and evaluated (setq inferior-lisp-program "/usr/ local/bin/lispworks -tty") . Then I ran SLIME and watched some output scroll through *inferior-lisp*, only to stop at a CL-USER> prompt. The echo area informs me that SLIME is still polling the connection ("Polling "/tmp/slime.1257".. (Abort with `M-x slime- abort-connection'.)"). Clearing out old FASL's doesn't seem to make a difference. This is an Intel Mac, if that's relevant.
The contents of inferior-lisp are below.
Thanks, Bill

slime cvs or 2.0? i believe, but am not sure, that you're one of the few people to run slime on lispworks 5 (it hasn't been out that long), so it may be lispworks 5 specific.
slime hackers: we still get these kinds of problems occasionaly and it's really hard to figure out what's going on (or what isn't going on) from the output in inferior-lisp. is there a reason we don't have some more verbose logging in there?

CVS. Peder Klingenberg reports that it happens in 4.x too.

I'm seeing the same symptoms on a laptop running ubuntu, with LW 4.6 and CVS slime (last checkout was a couple of weeks ago, I think). It's been that way for quite some time for me, many months. I haven't investigated at all (actual work keeps getting in the way), but I've avoided upgrading the slime on my normal workstation for a long time, partly because of this [1].
I have a workaround, though. I don't have my laptop with me today, so this is going by memory, but when slime hangs and displays that message about aborting the connection, I do another 'M-x slime'. When it asks me if I want to open another *inferior-lisp* I decline. That apparently unsticks something in slime, and I get the slime REPL running. The message buffer often says something like "buffer has no process" or something, but everything works just fine.
Sorry about the vagueness and handwaving, but maybe my workaround is helpful anyway.
------- [1] I'm continually torn between the two impulses "If it works, don't fix it" and "Ooh, shiny!". My wife thinks I give in to the latter far too often and gets cross with me for breaking our main home system. :)

You're right; running slime again does the trick. Thanks. It would still be nice to find out what causes this.

The problem is that SWANK:START-SERVER now calls SWANK-BACKEND:INITIALIZE-MULTIPROCESSING, which never returns on LispWorks.
The attached patch should fix it (though other backends need to be modified before this is committed).

i have attempted to fix the ather backends which have a initialize-multiprocessing method (allegro and cmucl). unfortunetly i have neither an allegro nor a cmucl install on hand, would anybody mind testing the attached patch before i commit it?
