I was trying to run slime today to play with something and I kept getting this error:
debugger invoked on a SB-INT:SIMPLE-FILE-ERROR: Couldn’t load #P”/Users/matthew/.slime/fasl/2008-07-06/sbcl-1.0.21-darwin-x86/swank-sbcl.fasl”: file does not exist. Type HELP for debugger help, or (SB-EXT:QUIT) to exit from SBCL. restarts (invokable by number or by possibly-abbreviated name): 0: [ABORT] Exit debugger, returning to top level. (LOAD #P”/Users/matthew/.slime/fasl/2008-07-06/sbcl-1.0.21-darwin-x86/swank-sbcl.fasl”)[:EXTERNAL]
After googling and trying different things I found the problem. Turns out, I had two (require ‘slime) ‘s in my .emacs file. d’oh. I am not sure why that caused the problem though but things are working now and I have upgraded to sbcl version 1.0.21.
