[slime-devel] Compilation Problem with CVS-Slime

Hello everyone, i just checked out the latest CVS version of Slime, but when i try to load it in emacs (21.3.1) i get the following error: debugger invoked on a SIMPLE-ERROR in thread 17146: There is no applicable method for the generic function #<STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION SWANK-BACKEND:SPAWN (0)> when called with arguments (# :NAME "Swank"). You can type HELP for debugger help, or (SB-EXT:QUIT) to exit from SBCL. restarts (invokable by number or by possibly-abbreviated name): 0: [ABORT ] Reduce debugger level (leaving debugger, returning to toplevel). 1: [TOPLEVEL] Restart at toplevel READ/EVAL/PRINT loop. ((NO-APPLICABLE-METHOD (T)) #<unavailable argument> #<unavailable argument> #<STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION SWANK-BACKEND:SPAWN (0)> (#<FUNCTION "CLOSURE" {94EE2CD}> :NAME "Swank")) Any idea what's going wrong here? TIA Ralf Mattes

Usually this means "your sbcl is too old". Cheers, Christophe -- http://www-jcsu.jesus.cam.ac.uk/~csr21/ +44 1223 510 299/+44 7729 383 757 (set-pprint-dispatch 'number (lambda (s o) (declare (special b)) (format s b))) (defvar b "~&Just another Lisp hacker~%") (pprint #36rJesusCollegeCambridge)
