That was exactly what I needed. Everything works with the latest version of slime now :D

It feels quicker too :)

(By the way, I didn't need to use cbuild or anything, just grabbed the slime and sbcl binaries from their web sites.)

Thanks!

emacs 23.1 doesn't work with slime

Hi, I've just upgraded to emacs 23.1 (by compiling the source), but now when I use emacs 23.1 slime doesn't work. If I run the old version of emacs then everything is still OK. This is the error I get: Couldn't load "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/slime/swank-loader.lisp": file does not exist....

Re: Looking for a Project to Help Me Gain a LISP Vocab

These are good, but I would have kittens over an AI project; complex decision making or visual processing, for example. Obviously I don't plan to make an A.I. or solve one of those problems, but the ability to build a imperfect model would be fantastic. But, again, I don't know if that's a good lea...

Re: Got any good examples of CL in action?

I've been flicking ( very briefly, I haven't even begun to understand it yet) though ppcre, and one thing I've immediately noticed is that a few of the functions are HUGE. For example, in convert.lisp the function convert-aux is over 500 lines long. I understand that lines in lisp are even less of a...

Re: using labels in macros

And you want APPLY to pass through your argument list to a recursive call of the function. Ahhh, APPLY, that's exactly what I needed! Thanks, now I can write a function to do it all, rather than that messy macro. However, while waiting for my message to be approved by a moderator (this is my first ...

using labels in macros

Hey, I've recently started to learn lisp, and to exercise what I've learnt I've started writing a simple connect 4 game. I want to write a macro to check if a number of positions are on the board. Using inspiration from the sbcl source code for the AND macro as a example of writing macros which work...
