[CM] Cmdist Digest, Vol 62, Issue 3

Tue Jun 25 18:26:29 PDT 2013

Hi,
This is very helpful.
I did as the course 220a blog description suggested and created a directory with symlink to clm-4 inside it, then copied v.ins from clm-4 to that directory.

I'm running emacs from that directory and saved an .emacs file in there too, which looks like this:

;;slime
(setq inferior-lisp-program "/usr/bin/sbcl")
(add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/slime")
(require 'slime)
(slime-setup)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.ins$" . lisp-mode))

...so M-x works and slime is loading from emacs.

(compile-file "v.ins") works in slime-repl sbcl, and I get a v.fasl etc.

but

(load "v") bumps me out to the debugger, and this is where I'm stuck with clm since the blog description is about cm, not clm.  I also looked at the readme.clm.  Not sure about the .ins-buffer part you described, below.

Just not sure what I'm missing to get thru (load "v"), and on to (with sound ()...).  Perhaps I should be running emacs directly from the clm-4 source folder?

Regards,
Jim Hearon
