This is not correct. You don't need to install a Common Lisp in order to use SLIME with Clojure. > I assumed that SLIME was written in EMACS Lisp, but apparently not.

Sorry if you interpreted this differently. > But I didn't realize that meant SLIME was dependent on CL. SLIME isn't dependent on CL. The SLIME install is made up of an Emacs Lisp component plus a SWANK component (that are written for the underlying Lisp implementation that you are using). There are separate SWANK components for several different CL implementations, at least one Scheme implementation, and Clojure. > I used CMUCL and everything works now. SLIME works with CMUCL, but that has nothing to do with whether you are able to get SLIME working with Clojure. - Bill --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
