02:01 <Andrew> hi - I am trying to learn how to use Slime. I have installed the package, but when I run M-x slime emacs says "Wrong type argument: stringp, nil". Not sure what I should be doing differently

02:24 <ck_> take a look at the backtrace by setting (setq debug-on-error t) first

02:48 <Andrew> Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)

02:48 <Andrew> string-match("[ \f\011\n\015\013]+" nil 0)

02:48 <Andrew> slime-lisp-options()

02:48 <Andrew> split-string(nil)

02:49 <Andrew> slime-read-interactive-args()

02:49 <Andrew> slime()

02:49 <Andrew> funcall-interactively(slime)

02:49 <Andrew> call-interactively(slime record nil)

02:49 <Andrew> command-execute(slime record)

02:49 <Andrew> execute-extended-command(nil "slime" "slime")

02:49 <Andrew> funcall-interactively(execute-extended-command nil "slime" "slime")

02:49 <Andrew> call-interactively(execute-extended-command nil nil)

02:49 <Andrew> command-execute(execute-extended-command)

02:54 <Andrew> looks like the issue is inferior-lisp-program is not defined

02:57 <ck_> so, set it?

02:58 <Andrew> It is odd that I had to set that, I had the SBCL path in my init.

02:58 <Andrew> now I am seeing Process inferior-lisp not running

03:01 <Andrew> got it working, thanks for your help

03:17 <ck_> have fun with it. If you like debugging things, especially try the Trace Dialog
