Re: Cannot load swank

[Ram Krishnan]

From your description, it seems like there's a SBCL 2.3.7 somewhere in the system path. Running `whereis sbcl` should list out all available locations.

The other thing that has bitten me in the past is having an errant `SBCL_HOME` variable set in my environment, pointing to the wrong sbcl install directory.

Anyway, hope you're able to isolate the issue - I can imagine it must be frustrating not being able to slime/sly connect to stumpwm.

Good luck.

No, this error is not reproduced in SBCL. The file is compiled by the correct version of SBCL, which is why I thought that SBCL version could be hardcoded somewhere in Stumpwm. It doesn't seem to be the case, of course. Apparently, I'm struggling with my own absentmindedness and the problem is mine. Sorry.

When I enable Swank in config, I get a strange message, saying that

file /usr/lib/sbcl/contrib/sb-cltl2.fasl "is a fasl file compiled with

SBCL 2.4.7.debian, and can't be loaded into SBCL 2.3.7.debian".

If you run SBCL in the terminal and try to quickload SWANK or SLYNK (or

just require sb-cltl2) do you get a similar error?

If you do get the same error could you try removing SBCL from your

system (and ensuring the files are gone) and then reinstalling it? On my

system (void linux) the file `/usr/lib/sbcl/contrib/sb-cltl2.fasl` is

provided by the package `sbcl`. I'm unfamiliar with debian, but can you

use the package manager to find out what package provides that file and

see if it its version matches up with everything else?
