Newbie problem: Slime won't start.. . .

slime and dumping

Hi

I have just begun experimenting with dumping
(simplified by using the clob lib at 
http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~didier/software/lisp/clon.php)

I have run into one issue.
I load slime (even if I don't start a swank server)
do a dump
execute the dump
try to start slime

I get an error saying
 > Error: #<BASIC-CHARACTER-OUTPUT-STREAM :CLOSED #x30200050C08D> is closed
 > While executing: CCL::STREAM-IS-CLOSED, in process toplevel(3).
 > Type :POP to abort, :R for a list of available restarts.
 > Type :? for other options.

...

I have found a solution by writing code as below
(defun start-slime ()
   (when (and swank:*log-output* (not (open-stream-p swank:*log-output*)))
     (setf swank:*log-output* nil)
     (swank::init-log-output))
   (swank:create-server :port 4005  :dont-close t :coding-system 
"utf-8-unix"))

I am wondering what is the right way to do this or how do people do this.
Basic requirement is be able to dump my whole app including slime code 
and then load up the dumped executable and be able to start slime as 
part of the app execution. The above code does allow me to do this (I 
think). But I haven't yet tried what else can go wrong (like when 
debugger is invoked etc)
What is the usual thing people do for this situation

Not using Slime's debugger 2

Not using Slime's debugger

Hi,

I want to use my own debugger function. Normally I do this by setting a
custom function designator to cl:*debugger-hook*. With Slime I can't do
this automatically because swank sets it to #'swank:swank-debugger-hook.

The Slime manual says that ~/.swank.lisp can be used for setting
swank:*global-debugger* to nil. Even if I do this, cl:*debugger-hook* is
still set to swank's function.

Is there a way to set custom debugger automatically with Slime? Mostly I
use SBCL.

PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED 

European Lisp Symposium 2012, Zadar, Croatia, April 30th - May 1st, 2012 

http://european-lisp-symposium.org 

The purpose of the European Lisp Symposium is to provide a forum for 
the discussion and dissemination of all aspects of design, 
implementation and application of any of the Lisp and Lisp-inspired 
dialects, including Common Lisp, Scheme, Emacs Lisp, AutoLisp, ISLISP, 
Dylan, Clojure, ACL2, ECMAScript, Racket, SKILL, and so on. We 
encourage everyone interested in Lisp to participate. 

The main theme of the 2012 European Lisp Conference is 
"Interoperability: Systems, Libraries, Workflows".  Lisp based and 
functional-languages based systems have grown a variety of solutions 
to become more and more integrated with the wider world of Information 
and Communication Technologies in current use.  There are several 
dimensions to the scope of the solutions proposed, ranging from 
"embedding" of interpreters in C-based systems, to the development of 
abstractions levels that facilitate the expression of complex context 
dependent tasks, to the construction of exchange formats handling 
libraries, to the construction of theorem-provers for the "Semantic 
Web".  The European Lisp Symposium 2012 solicits the submission of 
papers with this specific theme in mind, alongside the more 
traditional tracks which have appeared in the past editions. 

We invite submissions in the following forms: 

Papers: Technical papers of up to 15 pages that describe original 
results or explain known ideas in new and elegant ways. 

Demonstrations: Abstracts of up to 4 pages for demonstrations of 
tools, libraries, and applications. 

Tutorials: Abstracts of up to 4 pages for in-depth presentations about 
topics of special interest for at least 90 minutes and up to 180 
minutes. 

Lightning talks: Abstracts of up to one page for talks to last for no 
more than 5 minutes. 

All submissions should be formatted following the ACM SIGS guidelines 
and include ACM classification categories and terms. For more 
information on the submission guidelines and the ACM keywords, see:

Winner-mode doesn't work with SLIME

I'm having trouble restoring my window configuration after SLIME changes
it. I use winner-mode, but for some reason winner-undo doesn't work for
the changes that SLIME makes. The following screenshots demonstrate the
problem.

1. http://i.imgur.com/2EoKK.png

This is my initial window configuration. I've entered a bit of invalid
source code ("asdf") into a Common Lisp file to get SLIME to pop up an
error window upon compilation.

2. http://i.imgur.com/EB8JT.png

This is the window configuration after C-c C-k'ing the invalid source
code. As expected, SLIME has popped up an error window.

3. http://i.imgur.com/T3TrJ.png

This is the window configuration after calling winner-undo. I'd expect
it to match the initial window configuration, but instead the pop up
window stays up and shows a random buffer.

4. http://i.imgur.com/qp6cn.png

For some reason calling winner-redo restored the initial window
configuration. This is the result that I expected when calling
winner-undo. However, it's not always the undo-redo combination that
restores the original window configuration, e.g. sometimes I have to
undo twice to get the windows back the way they were.

I use winner-mode all the time, and it only has trouble with the changes
that SLIME makes, which suggests that there's something peculiar about
the way that SLIME shows its pop ups. Is there something that can be
done to make SLIME work the way winner-mode expects (which seems to be
the way the rest of Emacs works)?
