I'm having trouble getting SBCL to start under slime. I've messed
things up and I don't know how to recover. This was working fine
until I...

Had a problem loading a package via asdf. At which point I started
debugging the asdf.lisp provided with SBCL to see what was going
wrong. The sole change I made was to put a (break) in which I removed
once I'd figured out what was wrong. All was fine until the next time
I tried to start SBCL.

Then I got a swank compilation error saying that the asdf.fasl was
older than the asdf.lisp file. That made sense to me so I recompiled
the asdf.fasl. The output I'm now getting is:

(progn (load "c:\\emacs-23.1\\site-lisp\\slime\\swank-
loader.lisp" :verbose t) (funcall (read-from-string "swank-
loader:init")) (funcall (read-from-string "swank:start-server") "c:\
\Users\\GILESR~1\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\slime.3068" :coding-system
"iso-latin-1-unix"))

This is SBCL 1.0.37, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp.

So it's not finding some stuff it needs in my recompiled asdf. I
order to resolve this I've done a complete uninstall and reinstall of
SBCL. No joy. I've got nothing in my .sbclrc either.

Sorted it. On viewing the asdf.lisp source code the missing functions
are definitely in the file. The thing that's preventing them from
compiling is I think the line:

#+(and sbcl sbcl-hooks-require)

I fixed the problem using the following steps:

1. Fire up sbcl from Windows start menu.
2. Run the following code to add the sbcl-hooks-require symbol to the
feature list:

(push :sbcl-hooks-require *features*)

3. Recompile asdf.lisp. In order to do this I needed to recompile
asdf outside of the installed C:\Program files\Steel... directory as
the UAC on Windows Vista will stop the fasl being written. For
example:

(compile-file "C:\\foobar\\asdf.lisp")

4. Copy the generated fasl back to C:\Program files\Steel... to
overwrite the original fasl.
