To the list. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Clifford E. Wulfman Date: Monday, 5 December 2011 Subject: Re: [slime-devel] (no subject) To: Nikodemus Siivola <nikodemus@random-state.net> Sorry, Nikodemus: I tried to post a backtrace, but GMANE kept complaining about lines longer than 80 characters. I was responding to the "Error in timer" report, which someone on the list said was fixed. I've been encountering this error for some time now, and it still persists: Debugger entered: (("Error in timer" slime-attempt-connection (#<process inferior-lisp> nil 2) (wrong-type-argument bufferp nil))) (condition-case data (apply fun args) (error (debug nil (list "Error in timer" fun args data)))) slime-timer-call(slime-attempt-connection #<process inferior-lisp> nil 2) apply(slime-timer-call (slime-attempt-connection #<process inferior-lisp> nil 2)) byte-code("r\301\302H\303H\"\210)\301\207" [timer apply 5 6] 4) timer-event-handler([t 20188 47957 85993 0.3 slime-timer-call (slime-attempt-connection #<process inferior-lisp> nil 2) nil]) I've tried setting inferior-lisp-program to sbcl and to clisp, but I get the same error. Could you give me some suggestions on how to debug my set-up a bit more? I might be able to give you more information then. I'm a very old Lisper, just getting back into things and pretty new to swank and slime. Thanks for responding so quickly to my post!

What problem? (I don't see any other messages from you on slime-devel.) Cheers, -- nikodemus -- Cheers, -- Nikodemus
