I've been dancing around LISP for decades, but now have decided to get serious. I'm going through the online version of Practical Common LISP.

This is my setup:

MacOSX 10.7.8
Xcode 4.5.2
SBCL 1.0.55.0-abb03f9
Emacs 24.2.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin, NS apple-appkit-1038.36)
SLIME 1.6

I tried to follow the instructions listed in the link:

…but the problem is that on the MacOSX platform, nothing seems to be located where it should.

SBCL was installed using its own script…it is working.

I setup the SBCL_HOME env var as instructed.

Emacs was installed by dmg from this link:

…and is running.

SLIME, however (which was download via cvs to ˜/.emacs.d/slime) doesn't appear to be recognized. I can't get the "CL-USER>" prompt described by the author.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
