[slime-devel] function CREATE-SWANK-SERVER is undefined
I'm new to slime. I tried using it with this in my .emacs: (setq inferior-lisp-program "/sw/bin/clisp") ; Platform is Mac OS X (Panther). CLisp is 2.29-13. (add-to-list 'load-path (concat homedir "/el/slime")) (require 'slime) (add-hook 'lisp-mode-hook (lambda () (slime-mode t))) (add-hook 'inferior-lisp-mode-hook (lambda () (inferior-slime-mode t))) M-x slime RET produces: Compiling file /Users/gknauth/el/slime/swank.lisp ...

I think CLISP 2.29-13 is too old. We use things like (defstruct (:location (:type list) :named ...)) and older versions of CLISP don't like keywords as struct names. CLISP 2.32 or newer should work. There are also some Linux specific functions in swank-clisp.lisp. You probably have to comment them out or provide MacOS versions (SET-SIGIO-HANDLER and ADD-INPUT-HANDLER are currently not used; you can delete them). It may also be a good idea to try SLIME with OpenMCL (if you have it around) to see how SLIME is supposed to work. Helmut.
I upgraded to CLISP 2.32 and all is well now. Thanks for the help. Geoffrey -- Geoffrey S. Knauth | http://knauth.org/gsk On Feb 11, 2004, at 15:35, Helmut Eller wrote:
