Looking for some help with slime. M-x slime gives the following
message in the minibuffer: "Searching for program: no such file or
directory, lisp.
my .emacs code for slime:
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/slime/") ; my slime directory
(require 'slime)
(setq infererior-lisp-program "/usr/local/bin/sbcl/")
(slime-setup)

Other info...running sbcl directly from the command line starts sbcl.
If I issue the command (require 'slime)M-x M-e I get the answer
'slime' in the minibuffer. I tried googling this issue but couldn't
find much. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong or how I can
troubleshoot the "Searching for ... " message?

You have a trailing slash and spelt inferior wrong.

You have a '/' in your setting of the lisp interpreter - possibly making it
look like a directory rather than a path to the executable. Try removing
that last slash and just have "/usr/local/bin/sbcl"
