There are currently some "breaking" refactorings that are being done to slime. The slime repl has been moved out to the contribs directory and has to now be explicitly specified when you startup slime. However, the necessary changes to swank-clojure haven't been made yet. Therefore, you can do one of a number of things: 1. Don't upgrade to any slime later than December 22. This is your easiest option at the moment. Jeffrey Chou usually updates swank-clojure pretty quickly when there are bugs or slime changes, so it shouldn't be too long before you can start using the latest cvs slime once again. 2. Use an alternative repl with slime. There are actually 3 different repl's that you can potentially use with slime: a. The inferior-lisp repl that starts up when you launch slime (before Dec 23, it would launch the slime-repl automatically after establishing communications with the underlying Lisp implementation (Clojure in your case). However, post-Dec 23, it will only optionally launch the slime-repl). b. An enhanced inferior-lisp repl that has most of the key bindings that are available in the "normal" slime repl. To enable this, modify your startup to use this line: (slime-setup '(inferior-slime)) instead of the: (slime-setup) line that was in my setup instructions. c. The "normal" slime-repl that has all the bells & whistles (you can't use this one at the moment with the latest slime cvs code) 3. Use an alternative to slime for the time being. I suggested one emacs alternative in a weblog post: http://bc.tech.coop/blog/081118.html If you go with #1, then you don't have to change your setup. If you go with #3, then you lose much of the functionality which you may have grown accustomed to having with slime. If you go with #2a or #2b, you will have to comment out (or remove) any mods that directly reference the slime-repl mode (which is created when 2.c is started up and which is the one that is started automatically by pre-Dec23 versions of slime). In your specific case, you will have to comment out lines in your setup as follows: (add-hook 'slime-connected-hook (lambda () ;(slime-redirect-inferior-output) (define-key slime-mode-map (kbd "<return>") 'newline-and-indent) (define-key slime-mode-map (kbd "C-j") 'newline) (define-key slime-mode-map (kbd "C-c b") 'slime-browse-local-javadoc) ;(define-key slime-repl-mode-map (kbd "C-c b") 'slime-browse-local-javadoc) (define-key slime-mode-map (kbd "C-c d") 'slime-java-describe) ;(define-key slime-repl-mode-map (kbd "C-c d") 'slime-java-describe) (define-key slime-mode-map (kbd "C-c D") 'slime-javadoc) ;(define-key slime-repl-mode-map (kbd "C-c D") 'slime-javadoc) )) You could change the slime-repl-mode-map entries to instead refer to the equivalent inferior-lisp repl mode map; however, you'll just have to change them back again when slime-repl becomes available again. So, I recommend you stick with #1 until swank-clojure is updated as necessary. The slime-repl has more features/functionality than the inferior-lisp repl alternatives. Hope that helps and that my explanation wasn't more information than you really wanted. ;-) -- Bill Clementson --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
