Description Walt Rarus 2004-05-24 06:36:00 UTC

It appears there are two things issues:
1) slime.el throws a bunch of complaints (don't know if slime.elc works)
2) swank rebuild fails

I have dev-lisp/common-lisp-controller-3.82 and dev-lisp/sbcl-0.8.10 installed.

Logged output from "emerge slime" pasted into Actual Results below.


Reproducible: Always

Expected Results:  
successful installation of slime environment with hyperspec, slime, and swank 
all working. 

Anecdotally, I had problems with SBCL (< 0.8.10) and the predecessor ebuild, 
slime-cvs, also. I succeeded in installing only once among many failed 
attempts. The success occurred when I ensured that FAIRLY-STABLE was chosen. I 
don't know if the difference between FAIRLY-STABLE and HEAD(??) is meaningful 
or simply a red herring. I mention it because I assume that the new slime 
ebuild is not getting FAIRLY-STABLE in the tarball.

Comment 1 Walt Rarus 2004-05-29 06:16:53 UTC

Since the initial bug report I've "cleaned up" my gentoo installation and then reran "emerge slime" and swank installs succesfully. I think 51918 can be dismissed.
