I've got this error when I M-x slime for the first time:
LOAD: A file with name /usr/share/common-lisp/source/slime/swank-loader.lisp does not exist
I'm on Ubuntu 11.10 and have clisp installed through/as an Ubuntu package; otherwise, I'm using your latest (slime-2012-02-09). Any ideas what I've done wrong?

Purge previous installations of slime, dpkg --purge slime cl-swank
Thanks, that worked. However, I already had done the standard uninstall/remove for both through "Ubuntu Software Center". Maybe have a note of warning on your webpage about Ubuntu's woes. . . .
Thanks again.

Simple uninstall doesn't remove configuration files, purge does a complete uninstall, I always use purge to uninstall things on Debian or Ubuntu. I've never used this "Ubuntu Software Center", but I imagine that in the usual Ubuntu fashion it's tailored to brain-dead people, so it probably doesn't have an option to fully purge a package. I just use aptitude for my package management.

I think that the easier way to install SLIME, and everything related to CL that is not a lisp implementation, is quicklisp.
(ql:quickload :quicklisp-slime-helper) and you're done.
See http://www.mohiji.org/2011/01/modern-common-lisp-on-linux/ for a quick HOWTO.

That's right, but stray debian packages will affect quicklisp as well.
