SBCL 0.8.16 is _really_ old, and while Slime 2.0 isn't exactly a tender
youth either, the effort of getting those two to play togather is better
spent elsewhere.

Current SBCL version is 0.9.17. The easiest way to move ahead is to
get the current SBCL version, and install it under /usr/local using
the install.sh that comes with it.

If that doesn't sort you out, then replacing 2.0 with the CVS Slime
will. (Just put it eg. under ~/elisp/slime).

Cheers,
