[slime-devel] SLIME not running on FreeBSD 5.2.1 wiht SBCL 0.8.5
Hi, when I try to start SLIME within Emacs (GNU, Version 21.3.1.) compilation fails with the error: ; compiling file "/home/chr/slime/swank-sbcl.lisp" (written 01 MAY 2004 01:19:50 AM): debugger invoked on condition of type SIMPLE-ERROR in thread 10047: Don't know how to load SB-BSD-SOCKETS I just fetched SLIME fresh from cvs. Does anybody know what went wrong? Thanks for your help, Chris

SLIME loads some modules, e.g., SB-BSD-SOCKETS, with REQUIRE. It could be that you have to load ASDF before you can REQUIRE other things (this was changed not very long ago). Try (require :asdf) (require :sb-bsd-sockets) in a normal REPL. If it works, add (require :asdf) to your .sbclrc, so that SLIME can be started in the usual manner. If it doesn't work, I'd suggest to upgrade to a newer version of SBCL. Helmut.

Thank you very much for your reply. I don't know what went wrong with my SBCL installation, (require :asdf) was not working either. But I cvsup'ed my ports and reinstalled SBCL 0.8.9 now - I didn't realize that my version was so much out of date. So, everything is working fine now. Chris
