Enabling REPL and Slime in Emacs

Quote:

;; .emacs ;;; uncomment this line to disable loading of "default.el" at startup ;; (setq inhibit-default-init t) ;; turn on font-lock mode (when (fboundp 'global-font-lock-mode) (global-font-lock-mode t)) ;; enable visual feedback on selections ;(setq transient-mark-mode t) ;; default to better frame titles (setq frame-title-format (concat "%b - emacs@" (system-name))) ;; default to unified diffs (setq diff-switches "-u") ;; always end a file with a newline ;(setq require-final-newline 'query) (setq inferior-lisp-program "sbcl") (require 'slime) (slime-setup) (setq load-path (cons "/usr/local/acl80_express/eli" load-path)) (load "fi-site-init")

After some reading I tried adding this to my emacs to enabl SBCL REPL.

Quote:

;;; The following is for Lisp ;;; The SBCL binary and command line arguments (require 'inf-lisp) (setq inferior-lisp-program ''/usr/local/bin/sbcl --noinform'')

But this doesn't work I receive an error

Quote:

An error has occurred while loading home/flebber/.emacs Invalid read Syntax : ")"

Any ideas how to allow to configure sbcl for .emacs ?

PS As an aside I also in response to another post have installed "gcl". If this is easier to setup for REPL and slime, I am interested.

So SBCL as itself must not be linked to emacs to use.

This is my .macs directory

the minimum you need is

lisp Code:

Original - lisp Code
(setq inferior-lisp-program "/path/to/sbcl") (add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/slime") (require 'slime) (slime-setup)

 
(setq inferior-lisp-program "/path/to/sbcl")
(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/slime")
(require 'slime)
(slime-setup)

then start slime with M-x slime
