[slime-devel] ACL80 and SLIME 2.0

Mon Mar 24 14:40:58 UTC 2008

I have recently upgraded the machines I use to run acl80, and I've been
having the strangest problem using acl80 with slime 2.0.  Hopefully
you've seen this and have a good workaround.

The old machines were a PPC/Mac Desktop and an Intel/Mac laptop both
running Tiger (10.4.11).  Both machines run acl80 and slime with no
problems.

The new machines are an Intel/Mac Pro Desktop and an Intel/Mac laptop
both running Leopard (10.5.2).  The Desktop runs acl80 under Slime fine.
The laptop is the one having the problem.  The only difference that I
can see between these two machines (other than RAM (16g vs. 4g) or
processors (8 vs. 2)) is that the Desktop shipped with the 9.2.0 kernel
and the laptop shipped with the 9.2.1 kernel.  I believe that this is
the case because the Desktop shipped with 10.5.1 and had to be upgraded
to 10.5.2, whereas the laptop came with 10.5.2 already installed.  

Both have been fully upgraded to 10.5.2 OS-X, but I have noticed at
least one x windows lib with a changed name on the laptop version, so I
know that upgrading to 10.5.2 doesn't produce IDENTICAL copies of the
os. 

As I said, the Desktop runs slime fine.  The laptop runs slime fine in
an emacs -nw environment.  If I run emacs like I normally do in its own
X window, however, starting slime produces the following output:

Have you ever seen this before?  I recall that this happened to me just
once when running on my laptop under Tiger, but only once out of
hundreds of times.  Any suggestions?
