I am attempting to installed lisp in a box on a win2k machine.
I went to http://common-lisp.net/project/lispbox/ and used the 'base
installer' that theoretically gives GNU Emacs 21.3 and SLIME 2004-06-26.
Post running the installers, fun ensued.
1. No emacs tutorial
Of course the emacs tutorial is not present, no big deal, i assume it
just mirrors other web available resources.
2. Can't get slime to run
i configured 99init.el to contains the four magic lines:
(add-to-list 'load-path "c:\\apps\\lisp\\lispbox\\slime")
(require 'slime)
(add-hook 'lisp-mode-hook (lambda () (slime-mode t)))
(add-hook 'inferior-lisp-mode-hook (lambda () (inferior-slime-mode t)))
On launch the messages indicate no errors.
I then tried to
M-x slime
and it responded with:
searching for program: no such file or directory, lisp
Any suggestions?

Even I initially went there, but then I found out about the one maintained by
Peter Seibel,

Try this, I think your installation woes might end.

Hmm, that is a very old slime. Much has happened to it since then. I
wonder why it is so old.

Did you carefully read the text on the lispbox web page? You actually
need to choose and install a lisp in addition to the emacs+slime
combination that you already installed.
