Trying to set up slime under xemacs. Installed sbcl at:

    /usr/local/bin/sbcl

This is what i have in my ~/.xemacs/init.el:

    (setq inferior-lisp-program "sbcl")
    (add-to-list 'load-path "/home/eric/elisp/slime-1.2.1")
    (require 'slime)
    (slime-setup)

This is what i get when i do M-x slime:

    (load "/home/eric/elisp/slime-1.2.1/swank-loader.lisp" :verbose t)
    (swank:start-server "/tmp/eric/slime.13477" :external-format :iso-latin-1-unix)
    fatal error encountered in SBCL pid 13478:
    can't find core file

    Process inferior-lisp exited abnormally with code 1

I've tried changing my inferior-lisp-program to:

    "sbcl -core /path/to/known/good/core/file"

but got exactly the same result. What am i doing wrong?

thanks in advance,
Eric

Not enough dashes. The option is "--core", not "-core".

Also you could put (setenv "SBCL_HOME" "/usr/home/fookhl/lib/sbcl"), or whatever
your path is in your init.el just to be sure Xemacs is operating in an
environment with that variable set.
