Dear Friends,

Using fresh 1.0 cvs with ACL 7.0 beta I observe:

; Fast loading ; /home/jmadams/.slime/fasl/allegro-7.0.beta/swank-backend.fasl ; ... Error: Attempting to change the lambda list of #<STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION SWANK-COMPILE-STRING> to (STRING &KEY BUFFER POSITION DIRECTORY) results in a confict with method #<STANDARD-METHOD SWANK-COMPILE-STRING (T)>

Restart actions (select using :continue): 0: Remove this method 1: retry the load of /home/jmadams/.slime/fasl/allegro-7.0.beta/swank-backend.fasl 2: skip loading /home/jmadams/.slime/fasl/allegro-7.0.beta/swank-backend.fasl 3: retry the load of /home/jmadams/w/slime/swank-loader.lisp 4: skip loading /home/jmadams/w/slime/swank-loader.lisp 5: recompile /home/jmadams/w/slime/swank-loader.lisp 6: Return to Top Level (an "abort" restart). 7: Abort entirely from this (lisp) process.

I see that others have reported similar problems, but I have seen no confirmed explanation. Has anyone actually got around this problem? I saw a suggestion that this might be caused by inadvertantly mixing different versions of swank.lisp and slime.el but I don't think that is the problem.

I also saw that Helmut couldn't reproduce the problem, but I don't know what ACL version was being referred to.

Thanks a lot,
