Hi Luke,

I thought I was replying to the list but I see now the Reply-To: was
your personal address. Sorry about that.

Yes, I'm this machine is an athlon-xp. I responded to Helmut's
question (probably to him personally by mistake as in your case) that
it doesn't appear to be byte compiled (only the .el file exists). The
reason I'm running 18e is probably due to having loaded it a few
months ago. I'm upgrading it as I type. Its done. Here is the listing
of the /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/slime directory:

   hyperspec.el
   slime.el
   swank-loader.lisp
   tree-widget.el

So it doesn't look like anything is byte-compiled. I'm going to retry
the experiment again with the new cmucl version...

No dice. Looks like the same error message:

* (swank:create-server)  


Error in function CREATE-INET-LISTENER:
   Error binding socket to port 4005: No such file or directory
   [Condition of type SIMPLE-ERROR]

Restarts:

Debug  (type H for help)

In case I omitted this, the version of SLIME that Gentoo is
distributing at the moment is slime-1.0.20041010.
