Upgraded sbcl to 1.0 after 0.9.14 and slime stopped working. Never
mind, I bravely got recent CVS slime version hoping it will work but
no, I get the same error:

(progn (load "/home/alexey/lang/lisp/slime/swank-loader.lisp" :verbose
t) (funcall (read-from-string "swank:start-server") "/tmp/slime.8040"
:coding-system "iso-latin-1-unix"))

This is SBCL 1.0, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp.

Indeed, ~/.slime/fasl/2006-12-24/sbcl-1.0-linux-x86/ contains only

  -rw-r--r-- 1 alexey alexey  46952 2006-12-24 22:43 nregex.fasl
  -rw-r--r-- 1 alexey alexey 432941 2006-12-24 22:43 swank-backend.fasl


clisp slime works Ok.

By checking swank-sbcl.lisp line by line I found out that error happens
here:

(require 'sb-bsd-sockets)

Any idea how to get it work?

Thanks!

Never mind, updating common-lisp-controller (stealing new version from
Debian unstable)  seemed to work. I am using latest stable Ubuntu here.
