And now SLIME wont load:

I have

(add-to-list 'load-path "C:\DVP\slime") (require 'slime) (slime-setup :autodoc t) (add-hook 'lisp-mode-hook (lambda () (slime-mode t)))

in my .emacs file and when I do M-x slime

it says

(load "c:/DVP/slime/swank-loader.lisp" :verbose t) (swank:start-server "c:/slime.2860" :external-format :iso-latin-1-unix)

[1]> *** - LOAD: A file with name /c/DVP/slime/swank-loader.lisp does not exist The following restarts are available: ABORT :R1 ABORT Break 1 [2]> *** - READ from #<INPUT CONCATENATED-STREAM #<INPUT STRING-INPUT-STREAM> #<IO TERMINAL-STREAM>>: there is no package with name "SWANK"

I know that this is because CLISP is compiled with cygwin which wants pathnames like /cygdrive/c/DVP and emacs is not compiled with cygwin. My question is what to do about it. Im not a Lisp expert yet.

You could make a symbolic link in cygwin:

ln -s /cygdrive/c /c
