Question

Emacs SLIME can’t connect to swank, because apparently swank cannot initialize correctly.
It says some back end function not implemented. However, my swamp backend is SBCL, which is supported. I am using windows xp os.
A similar issue was found posted at the following link, but no solution.Link to similar issue

Am I missing any configuration file for Swank? Or perhaps emacs and SBCL versions I am using have compatibility issues? In that case, where can I get the correct compatibility matrix for windows?

Use this or any other manual, which describes how to install Emacs, sbcl and slime separately. But using the latest releases. Then it will be easier to find the problem than it is now.
