I'm using Ubuntu, with EMACS 22.2.1. I've never used EMACS before, so
I am a complete noobie at that too. So far, the CL seems pretty easy,
but learning EMACS is the difficult part of Lisping!
This is my .emacs file in my home directory:
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/Desktop/sbcl/slime-2010-11-06/")
(setq inferior-lisp-program "/usr/local/bin/sbcl")
(require 'slime)
(slime-setup)
or, alt-x, type "slime" (no quotes), then press return. Watch sbcl load
(with some luck) and presto.
Sorry for taking so long to get back to you --- that did work fine ---
thanks for the info. :-)
I'm still struggling a lot in my effort to learn EMACS/SLIME. Can you
recommend any good on-line docs that would help?
EMACS is a lot different from text editors that I have used in the
past. I'm sure it has a lot of power, what with being extensible, but
the user-interface is pretty tough going for me --- I suppose I will
just get used to it.
