[slime-devel] Trying to start up SLIME with SBCL on Windows XP
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

I don't have it on my (linux) system, (and neither asdf-extensions.lisp). Try to identify what code tries to load it using the :backtrace command in the debugger. -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ A bad day in () is better than a good day in {}.
Thank you very much to all of you. It is a big kick to get an email from Peter. I've read your book PCL about three times, and have indeed used Lispbox. Thanks for your generosity in keeping it going and making PCL available. I am not a professional programmer, but have been trying various ways of processing some tables with 600k+ lines. Probably my algorithms, but ACL would hit a heap limit, so I was going to try SBCL. Again, thanks for your generosity. I'll try to figure out a way to buy the book from Japan. Paypal is hard to use here. Best, George On Wed, Dec 22, 2010 at 5:46 PM, Pascal J. Bourguignon < pjb@informatimago.com> wrote:

Have you ever messed about with installing Lispbox? There may be an asdf-extensions.lisp in there somewhere; perhaps there are remnants of it in some .emacs or .sbclrc file. -Peter On Tue, Dec 21, 2010 at 11:58 PM, George Lindholm <hnbindustries@googlemail.com> wrote:

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. On 22/12/2010 07:58, George Lindholm wrote:
