[slime-devel] installing slime in fedora core 3?

hi, i'm very new to linux.. i have installed Fedora Core 3 on my computer, it's working fine. I want to install slime onto Fedora Core 3.... i can't seem to follow the installation instructions.. on the installation instructions: (slime-setup) when i typed this into emacs and compile and run it, it just returned nil.. anyone know what's happening? thanks alot :D -- www.programer.name - my own personal blog : ) The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heav'n of hell, a hell of heav'n. What matter where, if I be still the same, and what I should be, all but less than he whom thunder hath made greater? Here at least we shall be free; th' Almighty hath not built here for his envy, will not drive us hence: Here we may reign secure, and in my choice to reign is worth ambition though in hell: Better to reign in hell, than serve in heav'n. --- John Milton, in his epic poem Paradise Lost

That's normal. That the function has done is arrange so that when you open a .lisp file it will use slime-mode. To fire up the system try `M-x slime'.

So it's searching for the program `lisp' and doesn't find it. Maybe it isn't there? What happens if you type `lisp' in a shell window? Have you installed any Common Lisp implementation? Cheers, Edi.

sorry i'm not very responsive recently.. my harddrive just crashed.. reinstalling everything.. and fedora core isn't working well either.. so i did a harddrive install of knoppix :D it's so far working fine.. and from what i heard, it's basically a debian install when you install it to harddrive :D anyhow.. i tried again to install slime on my knoppix, still it gave me the same message.. when i type in lisp in shell window, it just says lisp: command not found.. no, i have not installed any common lisp implemenation... do i need them? if i do, which one is better? SBCL or CMUCL? i'll try to install them now, see how it works :D On Sat, 26 Feb 2005 08:20:20 +0100, Edi Weitz <edi@agharta.de> wrote:
