Hi Bill, it seems I found the tick with swank-clojure, slime and emacs. Swank/clojure works only if the user is not root. (Or so it seems on my linux setup) Following your instructions on http://bc.tech.coop/blog/081023.html if the user is root, swank-clojure spawns a server listening on a given port, and the slime (or for that matter any other program, e.g. telnet) cannot connect to the given port.
Nevermind the protocol version, the bug is reproducible with both of them, "2008-11-23" and "2008-12-07". Installation: debian lenny up-to-date 12/2008. Emacs 21, Emacs 22, X or text versions Slime from repository and git slime from 12/2008 tested swank/clojure "2008-12-07" and newer tested. I didn`t find out if the bug is in my linux config (no firewall installed, no selinux) or in any of the packages (Emacs?) It`s probably not slime. Slime works with sbcl and clisp. Could anybody confirm/reject my wild assumtions? Have a nice day, mosi PS: Thanx Feng hou for helping to find out the most basic swank- clojure setup. It was not clear from the docs, that the following is needed to start: (swank/start-server "/dev/null" :port 4005 :dont-close true) In all the web tutorials the old function name is used.
