Hi,
When I go to load Slime from within Emacs I get the following error in *inferior-lisp*:
WARNING: Not reloading SWANK. Package already exists. ;; Swank started at port: 35903.
debugger invoked on a SIMPLE-ERROR in thread #<THREAD "initial thread" {A8066A9}>: SWANK-BACKEND:SPAWN not implementated
Type HELP for debugger help, or (SB-EXT:QUIT) to exit from SBCL.
restarts (invokable by number or by possibly-abbreviated name): 0: [ABORT] Exit debugger, returning to top level.
(SWANK-BACKEND:SPAWN #<CLOSURE (LAMBDA #) {A9BA30D}>) 0]
Poking around the source files I see SPAWN implemented, but am not sure if SBCL just isn't finding it or what. I'm using the most recent SBCL available in Ubuntu's repositories (1.0.6) with Emacs 22.1.1. I just checked out Slime from CVS after uninstalling the Slime package for Ubuntu (I grabbed the CVS version to see if the connection issue I'm having is with S-XML-RPC or Slime). Any ideas?
Thanks, -Andrew

At a guess the Ubuntu SBCL has swank preloaded, which causes trouble. You (or Ubuntu) also seem to have specified communication style :SPAWN somewhere, but apparently the SBCL you have is not built with threads.
Using upstream SBCL should fix this -- or both Ubuntu Slime and SBCL.
