The solution is obvious: $ sudo touch /usr/share/common-lisp/source/slime/ChangeLog
Also, make sure that you identify your slime directory in .emacs: (add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/common-lisp/source/slime/") (setq inferior-lisp-program "/usr/bin/clisp") (require 'slime) (slime-setup) To the devs: just add ChangeLog (possibly empty) to the dirtectory indicated above. See swank-loader.lisp in that same directory for why this works. -- SLIME does not start with clisp https://launchpad.net/bugs/66715 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
