[Openmcl-devel] Using OpenMCL with Aquamacs + Slime doesn't work

[Daniel Dickison]

I can say for sure that the latest CCL 1.3 from SVN with the latest  
SLIME from CVS and Aquamacs 1.7 definitely works for me, on an Intel  
Mac (64-bit).

I have slime checked out to ~/src/slime, and I have this in my  
Aquamacs Preferences.el file:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/src/slime")
(require 'slime)
(set-language-environment "UTF-8")
(setq slime-net-coding-system 'utf-8-unix)
(slime-setup '(slime-fancy slime-xref-browser))


I normally start swank from the command line and connect to it from  
Aquamacs, and the shell script I have for starting swank looks like:

ccl -l "$HOME/src/slime/swank-loader.lisp" \
     -e '(swank-loader:init :load-contribs t)' \
     -e '(swank:create-server :coding-system "utf-8")' \
     $@

It took me a while to figure out the :load-contribs t thing, but it  
seems to be necessary.

Let me know if these don't work for you.  I've tackled setting up CCL  
and SLIME on all sorts of ancient to new Macs so I can hopefully  
help.  Including the backtrace from the error you encounter would help  
narrow it down.
