The swank:start-server function does not have an external-format part, there is a coding-system parameter. In the slime changelog I do notice that some time ago this existed: 2004-11-19 Helmut Eller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ... (start-server): Accept external-format as argument. But this went away in 2006-11-19 Helmut Eller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> .. * swank.lisp (compile-file-for-emacs): Use guess-external-format. (swank:create-server): no more accepts an :external-format 'enc , use :coding-system "enc" instead. So I'm guessing your cl-swank and slime packages are out of sync and the backwards compatibility of slime leaves something to be desired. Slime maintainers: what is the official word on this? I could stronger dependencies to the next upload but as slime can be used to connect to a non-local lisp instance this is a problem that will be difficult to avoid.
