[slime-devel] Strange startup behaviour

Hello all, I've been banging my head against this for a couple hours and haven't been able to figure out the problem, so I humbly ask for help or a pointer to the right place to ask: I'm attempting to run the current CVS SLIME with SBCL 0.9.5.50. When I hit M-x slime in emacs, compilation notes stream by, and then all action stops with the message: Lisp connection closed unexpectedly: connection broken by remote peer. Here's the weird part. If I start sbcl in a terminal and load up swank manually, connecting with M-x slime-connect from Emacs, everything works fine. I can't find anything enlightening in the *Messages* or *slime-events* buffers - it just quietly dies. Any ideas? --Paul

No ideas (sorry!) but I do have déjŕ vu. While waiting for a more useful answer, you could look at recent sbcl-related messages on http://news.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.slime.devel and see if you find some clue. Andras

Have you tried deleting all the fasl's from the ~/.slime directory? This sometimes bites people when they do a cvs update. - Bill

Yeah - I'm a veteran of *that* mistake :-)
This is cause by something stopping the compiler in the middle of COMPILE-FILE right? Could it be solved by Lisp compilers writing to a tmp file then hardlinking to .fasl on success?
