When starting Emacs [GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.18.9)
of 2016-04-17 on lgw01-04, modified by Debian], I see the following in the Messages buffer:

Loading /home/steve/quicklisp/slime-helper.el (source)...done
(Shell command failed with code 1 and no output)

I can find slime-autoloads.el via google, but would rather have it loaded as part of a package.

Does anyone have any idea why it would not be showing up?

Thanks, Steve

This slime is probably installed by some debian package.

Do you know Bayes?

P(∃ problem with a CL or emacs package | the CL or emacs package is installed by the LINUX distribution) = 1-ε

Installing slime with emacs package-install could work, but the really
good way to do it, is to install it with quicklisp.

Pascal,

Don't understand the allusion.

Ended up installing the file from https://github.com/slime/slime/blob/master/slime-autoloads.el .
