[slime-devel] remote slime fails

[Giovanni Gigante]

hi,
On a debian 3.1 machine I have successfully installed Slime and Swank
(debian package, 20051227-1) with SBCL (debian package,
0.9.7.1-2sarge24) and, locally, it works.
Then I have tried to use slime from a remote machine, using a ssh tunnel.
I have created the tunnel this way

	ssh -L 4005:127.0.0.1:4005 -p 2222 mylispserveraddr

(2222 is the port on my server where ssh is).
The problem is: when I try M-x slime-connect, emacs returns this error message:

	error in process filter: if: Wrong number of arguments: nil, 12

On remote I am using slime 1.2.1. I tried it with:
- Aquamacs 0.9.8 (emacs 22.0.50.1) on OS X (tunneling with ssh)
- NT emacs 21.3 on Win XP (tunneling with PuTTY)
- nqmacs 22.0.50.1 on Win XP (tunneling with PuTTY)
all three fail as above.
Any idea?
