Re: [Cusp] Trouble with Cusp on OSX 64-bit

[Timothy Jasko]

Well, I can safely say that the SBCL that ships with Cusp will not
work for you, since it's 32-bit. However, if you've compiled up a
version of SBCL for yourself that works, I would expect Cusp to be
able to connect to it.

I don't know precisely what you've tried, but here's what I would do to debug:

Start your copy of sbcl manually, then run these commands:

(load "path-to-cusp/slime/swank-loader.lisp")
(swank:create-server :port 4005)

If you don't get errors from that, once you start up Cusp it should
connect to that instance.

If you do, of course, then they should contain insight into your
problem, so let us know what happens either way.

I tried this today - it didn't work. But the following works:

(load "path-to-cusp/slime/swank-loader.lisp")
(swank-loader:init)
(swank:create-server :port 4005)

Is this another change in swank API, or I am doing something wrong?
