[mark robare]

thanks for the help john

 

but i could use some more of you insight

i did as you stated in your reply,

though i have emacs 22.3 and slime-2010-01-07

i did remane slime to slime when i put in the emacs/site-lisp folder

when i start emacs i get this error

 

 

("C:\\emacs-22.3\\bin\\emacs.exe")

Loading encoded-kb...done

 

 

An error has occurred while loading `c:/.emacs':

 

Symbol's function definition is void: add-to-lisp

 

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the

cause of the error in your initialization file.  Start Emacs with

the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error backtrace.

 

For information about GNU Emacs and the GNU system, type C-h C-a.

 

when i ran it with --debug-init i got,

 

 

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function add-to-lisp)

  (add-to-lisp (quote load-path) "C:/emacs-22.3/site-lisp/slime/")

  eval-buffer(#<buffer  *load*> nil "c:/.emacs" nil t)  ; Reading at buffer
position 107

  load-with-code-conversion("c:/.emacs" "c:/.emacs" t t)

  load("~/.emacs" t t)

  #[nil "¾

 

 

i also have a folder named .emacs and one named .slime

 

thanks again

Mark,

 

I just went through this recently on Vista 32 bit (although I set up emacs
and slime a while back).  Here is how I remember doing it:

 

(1) I installed emacs into its own directory on the C: drive, in my case
C:\emacs-22.2-bin-i386

 

(2) I installed slime into a subdirectory of the emacs folder:

C:\emacs-22.2-bin-i386\emacs-22.2\site-lisp\slime

 

(3) I installed CCL into its own directory on the C: drive, in my case
C:\ccl

 

(4) I edited my .emacs file to add:

 

(setq inferior-lisp-program "c:/ccl/wx86cl.exe") (add-to-list 'load-path
"C:/emacs-22.2-bin-i386/emacs-22.2/site-lisp/slime/")

(require 'slime)

(slime-setup)

 

[To edit my .emacs file, I launched emacs and did c-x, f then entered
"~/.emacs" without the quotes. That put me into the correct location.

Also note that you have to use a "/" and not a "\" in emacs when typing file
paths.]

 

 

Once that is set up, you should be able to M-x slime, and it should work.

 

-John
