[slime-devel] Slime w/ SBCL 0.9.11 (MacOSX/PPC): no response after reading utf-8/euc-jp files

[Harald Hanche-Olsen]

+ Yuhei Kuratomi <yuhei_k at mac.com>:

| # (defun read-one-line (file enc)
| #   (with-open-file (strm file :direction :input :external-format enc)
| #     (read-line strm)))
| 
| And I have two files, one is encoded in UTF-8 and the other is in EUC- 
| JP.  It seems that reading either encodings results in the same  
| behavior.
| 
| When I call the function in REPL,
| 
| # CL-USER> (read-one-line "test-utf8.txt" :utf-8)
| 
| the prompt never comes back.

Have you set up the proper coding system for communication between the
lisp backend and slime?  What happens if you just type in a string
containing some Unicode characters at the prompt?  (With quotes of
course, so you expect to just get the string back.)

Here is how I set it up for slime (from my .emacs file):

(setq slime-lisp-implementations
      '((sbcl ("sbcl") :coding-system utf-8-unix)
	(cmucl ("cmucl") :coding-system iso-latin-1-unix)))
