Where did you get your SBCL?  Is it properly installed?

Part of the slime build process is to pull in various modules from the
sbcl distribution that are not part of the default core:
SB-BSD-SOCKETS is one, but there's also SB-INTROSPECT and SB-POSIX to
pull in.  If REQUIRE isn't working for you, then either you've found a
bug, or your SBCL isn't properly installed.
