Hi all,
Firstly - please pardon my ignorance. I'm a newbie just starting out
in my Lisp journey.
I'm trying to get slime up and running under Xemacs and cmucl. I'm
pretty sure I've installed everything correctly, but my slime
environment doesn't look right. (I had slime/cmucl working great on a
previous version of Ubuntu. I'm now running Ubuntu 7.04/Feisty).
On my previous system (Ubuntu Edgy) I had:
-Auto Indenting
-A slime/Lisp drop down menu in Xemacs.
-A split frame would open for errors/debugging.
-A nice prompt to work from.
None of the above work presently.
When I load slime, the data below is printed to emacs:
(load "/usr/share/common-lisp/source/slime/swank-loader.lisp" :verbose
t(swank:start-server "/tmp/erik/slime.5652" :external-format :iso-
latin-1-unix)

Pretty much the same output when I try sbcl.

This looks as if the installation of slime is severly broken.
What gives 'apt-cache policy slime' ?

I can't remember whether that means your SBCL is too young or too old.
Maybe have a look at Ubuntus backtracking system launchpad, too.

Hi Holger,
Here is the output from apt:

(setq inferior-lisp-program "lisp")
~/bin/slime is the latest slime from CVS.
Does any of this shed more light on the problem?
Thanks!

The problem here is that the slime you've installed in ~bin/slime and
the slime installed by apt (and therefore picked up by *grumble*
common-lisp-controller) are different versions, so your slime.el and
swank.lisp can't talk to each other.
The best idea is to _never_ use debian's (or ubuntu's) packages for your
lisp world. If you insist on using apt-get, remove all traces of the
apt- installed slime and try the CVS slime (or vice versa, as you'd
think the packaged slime would work with the packaged CMUCL).
What you really want to do, IMO, is download the latest SBCL tarball,
the latest slime, and install them both independently of apt-get. If you
have a real reason for using CMU, than install it from tarball as well :).
I _love_ apt-get, and i use it for a lot, but i prefer to manage my lisp
packages "by hand".

Hi Drew,
I've SLIME and CMUCL from my machine using apt. I then reinstalled
them by hand from the tarballs.
I'm getting this error now:
(load "/usr/share/common-lisp/source/slime/swank-loader.lisp" :verbose
t)
(swank:start-server "/tmp/erik/slime.6372" :external-format :iso-
latin-1-unix)
This is SBCL 1.0.3, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp.

Should I also install xemacs from a tarball? Apt installed version
21.4.19. Or is there a configuration file somewhere (*grumble*) that
is causing problems?
Thanks so much for your help!

No, that's not an (X)Emacs problem you're having; as Drew explained
you're still experiencing trouble because you're having traces of your
Debian based lisp installation around that interfere with your local
installation. Try removing (via apt-get) common-lisp-controller, this
should remove the last bits of your Debian lisp packages.

I use the packages from Peter van Eyndes repository on both my Debian
and my Ubuntu box for quite some time now. I had my own share of
problems, but they were not related to slime, sbcl or cmucl. As I've
written elsewhere, the major problem is not the packages provided by
Debian/Ubuntu but interaction with local bleeding edge installations.
