hi,
  I recently downloaded the slime package from cvs and configured my 
.init file to use the package downloaded from cvs.
But when I try to start the slime mode I get the following error, and 
the repl doesn't starts up.

(1) (error/warning) Error in process filter: (error No such coding 
system iso-8859-1-unix)

I have a window machine and is that the reason why I am getting the 
error, and do I need to have a unix machine to use the slime package 
from cvs?

Or is it some bug in some slime file, and I need to either fix it or 
wait for a version of slime in cvs in which it is fixed?

Thanks in advance.

No, I'm running on linux (and sbcl) and I'm getting the same error
message.

Probably :-(

(caveat: mostly uneducated response...)

That sounds like an emacs problem.  I have GNU Emacs 21.3.1 and SLIME
cvs 2004-11-20 on Debian sid, and the REPL loads fine.

In an open buffer, type M-x set-buffer-file-coding-system.  Hit tab a
few times to bring up a completion window.  Is iso-8859-1-unix in there?
If not, find something like iso-8859-1 or iso-latin-1, and go through
the SLIME sources renaming the one to the other.
