Have a look at the *slime-compilation* buffer. There you'll find all the compilation warnings with useful shortcuts. Not sure why it's not popping up for you.

Perhaps someone can give me some advise about using slime with the sbcl compiler.

When I load an asdf system from inside slime, using ,load-system sometimes there are compiler warnings and errors printing into the repl buffer, *slime-repl sbcl* in my case.

Is there a way navigate to the code where the errors occur? I've tried the menu items:

SLIME->Compilation->List Notes SLIME->Compilation->Next Note

But they don't seem to do anything.

For example, in the compile log (printed to the slime repl buffer) I see several of "issues" in the text, 1) undefined function FINAL-P 2) #'EQ passed as :key which probably should be :test, 3) Required argument is not a symbol: (SM STATE-MACHINE), which is probably a defun where it should be defmethod.

Anyway, I can find the errors in my code because I know my own code pretty well. But isn't there something slime can do to help me which I'm not taking advantage of?
