Hi all:
I just updated Slime from CVS and ... it did not install the CONTRIB branch. Oh, yes, the contrib directory is there but it just contains a CVS directory and no files. Using CVS commands manually I was not able to download any slime-fuzzy.* files ...
Adding the two lines to .emacs file leads to the error indicated in the subject.
Could you please restore the old structure that made it simple and easy to use/update/install SLIME ?! Thx!
Best regards
Frank

Did you ask it to install the contrib branch? If not, why would you expect it to do so?
Oh, yes, the contrib directory is there but it just contains a CVS directory and no files.
This is because of a design feature in CVS, which does not allow branches to have independent directories: if a directory is present in a branch, it must be present in all branches, including the HEAD branch.
Using CVS commands manually I was not able to download any slime-fuzzy.* files ...
"cvs update -rcontrib" will request the contrib branch.

The code that you have obtained _is_ the old structure; it seems to me that you have confused yourself.
Best,
Christophe

Hm - yes, now that you say it ... ;-)

Worked. Thx!
(And yes, I have confused myself).
