[slime-devel] can't M-x slime on CMUCL 18c+
hi. i recently downloaded slime-1.2.1 but it fails to work on, CMUCL 3.0.8 18c+ (debian): i don't know if its because: a) i'm using lisp-safe.core (more typechecks?) b) i should be using an older slime to match the older CMUCL c) ... i'd prefer to use an older slime than a newer cmucl, unless i'm persuaded otherwise. help much appreciated, jack M-x slime Error in function C::DO-CALL: Execution of a form compiled with errors: (DEFSTRUCT (SLIME-INPUT-STREAM (:INCLUDE STRING-STREAM (COMMON-LISP::IN #'SIS/IN) (COMMON-LISP::MISC #'SIS/MISC)) (:CONC-NAME SIS.)

i'd prefer to use an older slime than a newer cmucl, unless i'm persuaded otherwise.
I'm running CMUCL 19a-release-20040728 and slime-20050519 without any problems at all on a Gentoo system. The CMUCL upgrade was trivial - just get the tarball and unzip it in /usr/local and everything just works. -Jeff

Since there have been many fixes to cmucl since that release, no one will pay this much attention. Show that your problem occurs in cmucl-19b-pre, and you will get serious attention. -- With sufficient thrust, pigs fly fine.

I'm not sure Slime ever even tried to support anything older than 18e. Why do you think you need an antique CMUCL? If the answer is "because Debian packages it" then "welcome to the wonderful world of /usr/local" ;-). Get 19something from upstream.
