Getting started: Simple evaluation crashes swank server

[sgharms]

Hello

SYSTEM:

➜ ctci sbcl --version SBCL 1.0.55.0.debian

with Vim 8.x

CONFIG:

" SLIMV Lisp interpretation
let g:slimv_swank_cmd = '! tmux new-window -d -n REPL-SBCL "sbcl --load ~/.vim/pack/my-plugins/start/slimv/slime/start-swank.lisp"'

INPUT:

(print "hello")

I then enter the expression and ,e. This stalls for a few moments. I'm using a TMUX-based mode on a remote workstation.

That's all the information I have, sadly. I'm still new to Lisp programming and don't have the chops to debug this very well, I'm sorry to say. Is there something I should try? I got this working on my mac, but was hoping to start working on this ubuntu system.

Thanks!

Here's an addendum. If I CONTINUE from the first restart (hope I'm using that term right ;)), I get this second error:

; compilation unit aborted
;   caught 2 fatal ERROR conditions

#<THREAD "initial thread" RUNNING {AAF2A31}>:
  The function SWANK:CREATE-SERVER is undefined.

Type HELP for debugger help, or (SB-EXT:QUIT) to exit from SBCL.

Which would seem to indicate that the essential function for loading a server hasn't been defined .I can see a lot of things going wrong if that's the case. :)

I saw that Tamas had posted on SO post that there might be some load-order dependency.

For completeness...

If i try: vim -U NONE -N foo.lisp And do :scriptnames

 41: ~/.vim/pack/my-plugins/start/slimv/plugin/paredit.vim
 42: ~/.vim/pack/my-plugins/start/slimv/ftdetect/clojure.vim
 43: ~/.vim/pack/my-plugins/start/slimv/syntax/lisp/slimv-syntax-lisp.vim
 44: ~/local/share/vim/vim80/syntax/lisp.vim
 45: ~/.vim/pack/my-plugins/start/slimv/ftplugin/lisp/slimv-lisp.vim
 46: ~/.vim/pack/my-plugins/start/slimv/ftplugin/slimv.vim
 47: ~/local/share/vim/vim80/ftplugin/lisp.vim
 48: ~/.vim/pack/my-plugins/start/slimv/indent/lisp.vim
 49: ~/local/share/vim/vim80/indent/lisp.vim

It definitely looks like i'm loading slimv. Evaluating the line blows up in the same way.

Oh, it might matter that I'm using Vim 8.x using its built in plugin loader v. pathogen or something similar.

After some reconfiguring and recompiling, I upgraded SBCL to the latest version and things seem to work. Further investigation is probably unwarranted since I was on an old ubuntu system whose LTS status has moved out of service.

Sorry for the late response but I was on vacation. You are right, the problem was that your SBCL was outdated. This issue also occurred on my old ubuntu system with SBCL version 1.0.55 and disappeared when I upgraded SBCL to version 1.3.1.
