15:01 <margaritamike> Is it possible to allow slime to use an environment for more than 1 lisp without having to go back and change inferior-lisp-program everytime I wan't to program in a different lisp?

15:33 <Shinmera> margaritamike: I use something like this. https://github.com/Shinmera/.emacs/blob/master/shinmera-lisp.el#L56-L80

15:34 <Shinmera> this will make the last entry the default for M-x slime, and allow you to launch others with M-x <implementation-name>

15:35 <margaritamike> Nice :)

16:49 <margaritamike> So in order for me to use anything from slime-contribs, I have to use a cloned git version? I can't still use slime-contribs if I installed slime via the quicklisp helper?

17:26 <luis> margaritamike: the contribs ship with SLIME (including quicklisp's copy), you just have to enable them explicitly.

17:26 <margaritamike> Ohh

17:26 <margaritamike> How do I do that? I'm trying to use the mit-scheme contrib

17:27 <margaritamike> https://github.com/slime/slime/blob/e6d215d77148079799d2fc3253ef402b5d9ed4d7/contrib/swank-mit-scheme.scm

17:27 <margaritamike> :)

17:27 <luis> margaritamike: oh, is that missing from quicklisp's copy?

17:27 <margaritamike> Following the instructions in the comments, yields errors for me

17:27 <margaritamike> Well what I did was follow the instructions in the comments of that file. Is there another way to load it in?

17:28 <margaritamike> Doing so resulted in errors when trying to start up slime.

17:29 <luis> margaritamike: I don't know. I've never used MIT Scheme, sorry.

17:30 <margaritamike> https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/JTosVt0b/

17:30 <margaritamike> Those were the errors

17:30 <margaritamike> Alrighty

17:31 <luis> margaritamike: that looks like an error on the Scheme side of things. It's quite possible that swank-mit-scheme is suffering from bitrot, but I couldn't say.

17:33 <margaritamike> I see my problem

17:33 <margaritamike> https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/L26jqMyu/

17:34 <margaritamike> I believe this would require me to clone the repo though, with inserting a path in the load

17:34 <margaritamike> But maybe not.. I'll try just downloading the swank-mit-scheme.scm file

17:36 <luis> margaritamike: it appears to be failing even before it tries to load swank-mit-scheme.scm. It's complaining about create-package-from-description right? How do you create a package in MIT Scheme?

17:38 <luis> margaritamike: the instructions suggest MIT Scheme 9.2 is needed. Maybe try and getting that version?

17:39 <margaritamike> I'm on it

17:39 <margaritamike> I was using 9.1.1

17:39 <margaritamike> We shall see!
