how did you install your local picolisp? Did you "cd src; make"?

OK. Now how exactly did you set up your slime? I think Henrik had a similar problem because he was using some slime contribs that swank-picolisp doesn't support. If you start with those contribs I sent in the previous email, it should work. The problem you are seeing is that when you move your cursor, emacs talks to picolisp to find information about symbols your cursor points at, e.g. if you write pil> (+ 1 2) and then place your cursor above +, slime tries to display information about +. I use emacs autodoc and in this case, I see that the symbol plus is a built-in function, its address and arguments. It is slow for you because something about this autodoc stuff doesn't work for you. > but anyway - it works, somehow, finally.

It should give you an idea what the problem is. Cheers, Tomas -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
