Hi, try doing: (setq swank:*use-dedicated-output-stream* nil) before starting swank, iirc that is required if you want slime to onlyuse one socket. Having a shared filesystem or trump + proper slime tolisp, lisp to slime pathname translation set up is advised too, thoughprobably not nescessary for useing just repl.-- Ignas Mikalajūnas

Already done, and the error is still there. This is my .sbclrc: (require 'asdf) (asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op 'swank) (setf swank:*use-dedicated-output-stream* nil) (setf swank:*communication-style* :fd-handler) (swank:create-server :dont-close t)

SLIME 1.2.1 is much too old to work with SBCL 0.9.7.

Thanks. Turns out you are right. By installing the CVS version on the remote client, now it works. However, the non-working version that I had installed was the only tarball available on the slime website, so I thought i was a recent one (it was not, it seems). I suggest that someone put a new tarball on the web site: using cvs is not very friendly for, say, a humble NT-emacs user. If that is not possible, at least it could be a good idea to write a warning that a non-cvs version could not work with a recent SBCL. Thanks everyone for the help! Giovanni
