Description Jason Dunsmore 2005-03-08 13:10:12 UTC

clisp needs a symbolic link to lisp for slime to work

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge clisp slime
2. emacs, M-x slime
Actual Results:  
you get an error that lisp can't be found

Expected Results:  
started lisp interpreter

"ln -s /usr/bin/clisp /usr/bin/lisp" solves the problem

And how many lisp implementations do we have, which would overwrite each others symlink...?

Hi, Jason. A symlink is not necessary, instead use:

    C-u M-x slime RET clisp RET

Similarly for sbcl.  I cant remember where I saw this mentioned.  I might have 
read the source...
