after reading Dave Phillps' mention of it in his "At the Soudning Edge" column from a while a ago (thanks dave for the great read as always), i'm prompted to try out Common Music, but i'm a little in over my head with setting things up. the abundance of "common" family packages from planetccrma (FC5) is making my head spin.
<br><br>i want to try the tutorials from the CM website, which advise that i use emacs via SLIME. following the instructions at <a href="http://commonmusic.sourceforge.net/doc/emacs.html">http://commonmusic.sourceforge.net/doc/emacs.html
</a> i've run into a stumbling block where i think that i don't know the correct path to SLIME or cm, which i've installed from the planet. after adding the lines as per instructions, starting emacs gives me:
<br><br>File error: "Cannot open load file", "listener.el"<br><br>and trying to start M-x cm gives me:<br><br>Symbol's function definition is void: slime-connected-p<br><br>which are both beyond my experience with emacs, slime and cm, so no go so far.
<br><br><br>swimming in packages, i thought i'd try and install the cm-clisp package (do i need it?) but yum complains:<br><br>Missing Dependency: clisp = 2.39 is needed by package cm-clisp<br><br>even though i have clisp
2.41 installed.<br><br>any help on either problem?<br><br>thanks in advance,<br><br>bernie<br><br>
