<!-- Converted from text/plain format -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi to all,<BR>
<BR>
Can anybody help with this problem which happens on that kind<BR>
of system:<BR>
<BR>
Debian Sarge Linux Kernel 2.6.11<BR>
SBCL 0.8.16<BR>
SLIME (both the current "stable" and CVS versions were tried)<BR>
<BR>
Error related to swank-sbcl.lisp:<BR>
<BR>
Unknown foreign symbol: "linux_no_threads_p"<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
The related part of the file:<BR>
<BR>
;;; TCP Server<BR>
<BR>
(defimplementation preferred-communication-style ()<BR>
(if (and (member :sb-thread *features*)<BR>
#+linux<BR>
(not (sb-alien:extern-alien "linux_no_threads_p" sb-alien:boolean)))<BR>
:spawn<BR>
:fd-handler))<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
When #-linux is put instead of #+linux the error is skipped<BR>
but then again:<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
debugger invoked on a SIMPLE-ERROR in thread 9703:<BR>
There is no applicable method for the generic function<BR>
#<STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION SWANK-BACKEND:SPAWN (0)><BR>
when called with arguments<BR>
(# :NAME "Swank").<BR>

Any ideas or tips for solving this problem?<BR>
