Hey all,
I've got an ubuntu box on which I'd like to install sbcl and swank, so
that I can connect and work through slime on my laptop.
So the first thing I did was apt-get install sbcl, which installed
version 0.9.14.
I then launched sbcl, and did the following:
(require 'asdf) ;; Seemed to work fine
(require 'asdf-install) ;; Again, seemed to work fine
(asdf-install:install :slime) ;; which then spit out the following
(any ideas on what's wrong?):
Install where?
1) System-wide install:
System in /usr/lib/sbcl/site-systems/
Files in /usr/lib/sbcl/site/
2) Personal installation:
System in /home/aemon/.sbcl/systems/
Files in /home/aemon/.sbcl/site/

Try downloading http://common-lisp.net/project/slime/slime-2.0.tgz,
then install it from a file, eg
(asdf-install:install "directory-where-you-put-the-file/slime-2.0.tgz")
I don't know why the asc is appended, someone will probably help you
figure it out, this is intended a quick workaround so you can start
working.
BTW, slime has a debian package.

I forgot to mention: the deb package is much more recent than 2.0.

Hey Tamas, Thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately i'm still getting the same problem. I tried installing
both ways you suggested, directly from the file, and also via the
debian package (wiping existing stuff first) to no avail.
Either way, I start sbcl, (require 'asdf) , (asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op
'swank)
and I always get the same thing:
debugger invoked on a SB-INT:SIMPLE-FILE-ERROR in thread #<THREAD
"initial thread" {A815441}>:
The file "/var/cache/common-lisp-controller/1000/sbcl/local/home/
industrynext/.sbcl/site/slime-2.0/swank-backend.lisp" does
not exist.
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Aemon
You will definitely need the Debian SLIME package; it and the Debian
SBCL package are modified in a way that requires both (specifically,
they are set up to use common-lisp-controller). Did you restart Emacs
after installing the Debian SLIME? If not, try that.

I've got one that is going to work for you. Remove anything related to
Common Lisp that you installed via a debian package. Then, install the
latest SBCL from a tarball, the latest slime from CVS, and you are good
to go. cl-build may be an even easier solution.
Common Lisp Controller is a neat hack when you want to distribute Lisp
software as part of a distribution, but it's more trouble than it's
worth if you are a lisp developer, IMNSHO.

Thanks everyone for your generous help, and thanks Drew for your nice
solution (ignoring debian :)
I'm now up and running exactly like I wanted (able to just asdf-
install everything from inside sbcl).
Cool!
