[slime-devel] No REPL with SBCL and Emacs Snapshot 23

New (after around 1 Jan 2009) CVS versions of SLIME have the REPL
moved into contrib. This supposedly isn't a bug since Corman allegedly
makes SLIME blow up if one tries using the REPL with it. You just need
to replace (slime

New (after around 1 Jan 2009) CVS versions of SLIME have the REPL
moved into contrib. This supposedly isn't a bug since Corman allegedly
makes SLIME blow up if one tries using the REPL with it. You just need
to replace (slime-setup) with (slime-setup '(slime-fancy slime-asdf))
in your ~/.emacs file and the REPL should come up when SLIME connects
to SBCL. The SLIME Web site will probably (hopefully at least) have a
FAQ entry about this.
