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 -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ COMPONENT EQUIVALENCY NOTICE: The subatomic particles (electrons, protons, etc.) comprising this product are exactly the same in every measurable respect as those used in the products of other manufacturers, and no claim to the contrary may legitimately be expressed or implied.
