Hi,

I Have found Lisp Cabinet to be a nice all-in-one Windows install of a Lisp environment, it gives you access to several Lisps including SBCL. I liked it better than Lispbox.

But, having been through the pain you are experiencing now, I have to say, doing it the hard way with seperate installs of emacs/sbcl/slime is worth it. You are forced to find out about the necessary plumbing that stitches it all together, once you have that grounding then I recommend Lispbox or Lisp Cabinet for Windows, or even better install a Linux distro in a VM or seperate partition and just apt-get all the tools. I found Ubuntu the easiest to do this with.

Holly.

Greetings.

I have installed SBCL and Emacs on Windows XP, and have pulled the current CVS files for SLIME, added path settings to .emacs, and turned the key.

It seems to start working, but then SBCL apparently tries to find a file named “ASDF-extensions.lisp”.

I looked through all the files I downloaded related to SBCL, Emacs, and SLIME, but could not find that file. I also have googled to see if others had this problem with SBCL, but to no avail.

I apologize if the SLIME list is not the appropriate venue for the questions, so if there is a better one please let me know.

Questions:

Is ASDF-extensions.lisp supposed to be installed with SLIME?

If so, where can I get a copy?

If not, any ideas where it comes from?

Thanks.

George
