[slime-devel] Error starting slime after update

[Tim Lavoie]

Hi all,

I started tinkering with slime a little while back, and it had been
working pretty well. I just replaced what I had (whoops) with what is
now in CVS, with the "FAIRLY-STABLE" tag specified.

I did see Jan Rychter's thread from last month, so I made sure that I
toasted and re-fetched the whole works, and had no .elc files
around. Any ideas?


I get a couple of messages when I start slime:

The first appears in the *Warnings* buffer:
  (3) (error/warning) Error in process filter: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)

This one appears in the minibuffer:
  itimer "itimer-0" signaled: (file-error "Cannot open load file" "lee-hook")

This latter one is quite odd, as "lee-hook" doesn't appear in the
slime files, nor in my own XEmacs init files.


When I start, slime has wandered off into space, until I break
out. Here's the CMUCL backtrace:

;; Loading #p"/usr/local/dl/Lisp/slime/slime/swank-cmucl.x86f".
T
* ;; Swank ready.

Interrupted at #xFFFFE410.

Restarts:
  0: [CONTINUE] Return from BREAK.
  1: [ABORT   ] Return to Top-Level.

Any ideas?
