slime setup broken

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

I'm trying to set up slime with emacs-24.3

When I exec M-x slime I get

(progn (load "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/slime/swank-loader.lisp" :verbose t)
(funcall (read-from-string "swank:start-server") "/tmp/slime.4217" :coding-system "iso-latin-1-unix"))

.....

; loading #P"/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/slime/swank-loader.lisp"

What's broken on my machine (Gentoo). SBCL is working since it has compiled Maxima, e.g.

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut.

You're probably running an outdated version of slime, but your sbcl
installation may also be outdated. The most recent release of sbcl is
1.1.8.
