[slime-devel] Stupid question

Hi I am very new to SLIME and I have noticed a slightly annoying problem. I am using an old CMUCL 18e on a Linux box. Once I start SLIME I keep getting "Polling ...." messages in the minibuffer. Is there something obvious I am missing?

Probably swank. Cliki has basic config information. This is what I use: ; SLIME (add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/slime") (require 'slime) (setq common-lisp-hyperspec-root "file:///usr/share/doc/HyperSpec/" common-lisp-hyperspec-symbol-table "file:///usr/share/doc/HyperSpec/Data" inferior-lisp-program "/usr/local/bin/lisp" lisp-indent-function 'common-lisp-indent-function slime-startup-animation nil ) (slime-setup :autodoc t) ;(add-hook 'slime-connected-hook 'slime-ensure-typeout-frame) (eval-after-load "hyperspec" '(load "hyperspec-addon")) -- YMMV

This usually means that there was a problem when compiling swank-*.lisp files. Try to remove everything in ~/.slime/fasl and start SLIME again. If you still have problems, show us the content of the *inferior-lisp* buffer (which will include the compiler messages). Helmut.

Thanks turns out this was a stupid problem with my messy .cmucl-init which precluded compilation of swank. Works like a charm now. Cheers -- Marco On Aug 3, 2005, at 7:13 PM, Helmut Eller wrote:
