Im using GNU CLISP 2.35 (2005-08-29) (built on
winsteingoldlap.bluelnk.net [192.168.7.100]) on Cygwin 1.5.18-1 and
having problems installing slime. I un-tar'd the slime tar file (tar
-xvzf slime....tar.tar), edited my .emacs file as required but when i
try to bring slime in emacs up (M -x slime) I get the following error
message.

.....

I dont know what Im doing wrong. I performed the same steps at my
brothers laptop without any failures and cant understand why this is
happening. Anyone know what Im doing wrong or how to fix it? I would
really appreciate any help resolving this issue. Thanks.

Try removing the .slime folder and installing slime again. If it still doesn't
work ask in the slime mailing list, you may get a better response.

HTH.

Hey thanks a dozen!

Removing the .slime directory and re-installing slime from the CVS did
it. No problems this time round. Thanks Surendra.
