Sorry for breaking the thread (I'm answering your last post), but I needed
to get back to one that had the original info.

The path /usr/share/common-lisp/source/slime/swank-loader.lisp looks
slightly dubious. I'd expect
/usr/share/common-lisp/source/swank/swank-loader.lisp. I'm sure you know
what you're doing; just trying to be thorough.

Maybe try (swank:create-server) without any of the keyword params, unless
they're necessary for your specific purpose. The port certainly shouldn't be
necessary, as 4005 is the default.

Have you upgraded to SBCL 1.0.49? It now uses ASDF2. If you have an init
file that does any of the following actions, comment them out entirely:

  - (push #p"/usr/share/common-lisp/systems/" asdf:*central-registry*)
  - (asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op :asdf-binary-locations)

SLIME wouldn't start for me until I did this.
