getting up and running with swank-gambit
I tried downloading what seemed to be the latest version of swank-gambit at: https://github.com/shortsightedsid/swank-gambit Being a total lisp, scheme, and SLIME newbie, I'm having trouble getting off the ground with this. The swank-gambit README file reads: "Run swank-gambit.scm from the command line, and then type `M-x slime-connect ENT ENT ENT` to get a SLIME prompt." I tried running "gsi swank-gambit.scm" from a shell, but it just hangs, with no visible output. I suspect I'm grossly misunderstanding the instructions. Any help would be much appreciated. -- Matt

I got a bit further in trying to get swank-gambit to work, but still not as far as others on this list. Previously I hadn't downloaded Sort.scm from http://dynamo.iro.umontreal.ca/~gambit/wiki/images/3/34/Sort-r1.tgz I downloaded it and put the Sort.scm file in the same directory as swank-gambit/. From that directory, I ran: $ gsi swank-gambit.scm This doesn't return. I assume this means the swank server is up, running, and listening. In a new terminal, I open a simple scheme program in emacs (emacs hello-world.scm), and type M-x slime-connect ENT ENT ENT. On the third ENT I get the following question in the minibuffer: "Versions differ: 2009-09-08 (slime) vs 2010-07-06 (swank). Continue? (y or n)" Typing y causes emacs to hang. There's no visible output from either the terminal from which I ran swank-server.scm, or the terminal from which I ran emacs. I'm running on Ubuntu 10.04. Querying gsi's version using "gsi -v" prints: v4.6.0 20100115040636 i686-pc-linux-gnu "./configure --enable-single-host" Is it really likely that this version difference between slime and swank-gambit is the cause of this problem? (I had assumed that SLIME's interface would be pretty stable.) What SLIME versions have people used successfully with swank-gambit?

When I used the CVS version of slime, I was at least able to connect and interact. I kept running into errors when work pop ng with the REPL however. I am not sure yet if that's swank-gambit, slime, or my emacs. -- I'm Jonnay! http://www.jonnay.net Matthew Koichi Grimes <mkg@cs.nyu.edu> wrote: I got a bit further in trying to get swank-gambit to work, but still not as far as others on this list.
