[slime-devel] M-. can't find definitions

[Peter Keller]

Hello,

I'm a relatively new emacs and SLIME (for lisp) user. I have set up a
checked out version (as of a day ago) of SLIME in my emacs and it seems
to be working well.

However, whenever I use M-. to go to the definition of anything, I get:

"No known definition for: <thing-at-point> (in <package-name>)"

in the minibuffer.

How can I fix this? I don't understand what I have to do to make this work.

Thank you.
