I have been trying to get slimv (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2531) working for a while now, but I am really not sure what else I can do.

I am running vim 7.3 compiled with python support, using clisp (sbcl is showing the same issue though) on os x lion. I pulled the latest version of slimv off of vim.org.

When I load a lisp file, echo g:slimv_loaded returns 1, but I do not get a second window with the repl. When I hit any of the keybindings, a new terminal window opens, starts clisp, and returns the following

;; swank:close-connection:

;; swank:close-connection: NIL

simultaneously, the original terminal window closes vim, and shows this

tab 1 of window id 57924
Vim: Caught deadly signal SEGV

Vim: Finished.
[1]    83648 segmentation fault  vim foo.lisp

Any ideas what I can do?

    I’ve just received the following information from the macvim developer:

    It seems this is a 64 bit issue — compiling MacVim 32 bit appears to fix it. Please compile a 32 bit
    version. Build instructions are here, in order to build 32 bit the “configure” line must include the flag “–with-macarchs=i386”.
