I have a very similar setup ... and I made sure that I set my lisp 
executable path first, my other paths ... my auto load lists ... and 
LAST did my require slime ...

anyways ... I haven't tried them in another order ...  but, since I know 
that SLIME cares about where and how it finds your lisp executable ... 
giving it a path to that before trying to run SLIME seems the most 
logical to me.

Hope that helps ... if not, sorry.
