Package: cl-swank Version: 1:20061201-2 Severity: important Trying to start SBCL using M-x slime-start from GNU Emacs fails with an error on the Common Lisp side. "important" because inferior-lisp is a big part of SLIME by my understanding.
Here's the transcript from my *inferior-lisp* buffer: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (load "/usr/share/common-lisp/source/slime/swank-loader.lisp" :verbose t) (swank:start-server "/tmp/slime.1772" :external-format :iso-latin-1-unix) This is SBCL 1.0, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp.
