Hi,

I'm using Debian Etch on x86 hardware

I've compiled sbcl from source with a prefix of /usr/local.  It works
fine when I use the barebones interface but when I try to
(setq inferior-lisp-program "/usr/local/bin/sbcl"), slime can't find
the common lisp controller.  I tried just symlinking
/usr/lib/common-lisp to /usr/local/lib/common-lisp but that didn't
help.

How does one integrate a locally compiled lisp with packages installed
using apt-get?

Many Thanks,
Andy

That's pretty odd. Are you sure you're getting the same sbcl when
calling it from the console?

Actually, I don't remember, it just worked (IffIRC). You could add
/usr/share/common-lisp/ to your asdf:*central-registry*. This will not
do what c-l-c is actually intended for, but it will ensure that you'll
be able to access the installed libraries.  

By using a 'dpkg -L common-lisp-controller', I see that there is also
some script called register-common-lisp-implementation which might or
might not be the solution you're looking for. BTW, its man page has
the following "SEE ALSO" section:

HTH,

 Holger

Pretty sure.  The version numbers were the same in the startup messages

I noticed that and I was trying to figure out the easiest way of using
it.  In the
end, someone on #emacs advised me to just install slime from cvs which
worked for me.

I hadn't seen this before.  It looks like a good resource.

Thanks
