[slime-devel] No go with SBCL 0.9.2 and SLIME
Using the latest SLIME from CVS HEAD, I get this: M-x slime * ;; Swank started at port: 32880. debugger invoked on a SIMPLE-ERROR in thread 3084629696: There is no applicable method for the generic function #<STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION SWANK-BACKEND:SPAWN (0)> when called with arguments (# :NAME "Swank"). Type HELP for debugger help, or (SB-EXT:QUIT) to exit from SBCL. restarts (invokable by number or by possibly-abbreviated name): 0: [ABORT] Exit debugger, returning to top level. ((SB-PCL::FAST-METHOD NO-APPLICABLE-METHOD (T)) #<unavailable argument> #<unavailable argument> #<STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION SWANK-BACKEND:SPAWN (0)> (#<CLOSURE # {958D2AD}> :NAME "Swank")) Any workaround? -Marc
+ Marc <msabramo@yahoo.com>: | Using the latest SLIME from CVS HEAD, I get this: I think it is still the case that SBCL and Slime work best together (read: at all) if you use versions of roughly the same age. SBCL 0.9.2 is very old (almost ten months). I am not surprised it won't work with the latest Slime. As both SBCL and Slime become more mature, you can expect this to be less of a problem. | Any workaround? Your best bet will be to get a recent SBCL. A distant second would be to get an old Slime out of CVS. - Harald

This was using SBCL 0.9.2 which is the latest package available for Ubuntu. One I went to the SBCL site and downloaded and installed 0.9.11, things worked much better. -Marc http://marc.abramowitz.info
