Exactly what I’m looking for, except it’s in alpha. Serious, seeping wound alpha. I haven’t gotten it working on Linux yet, but it works on Windows. The asdf-install included in SBCL 1.0 for Windows doesn’t work, and asdf doesn’t work with Windows links, so here is what I ended up doing. First, I unpacked the wxcl archive to ~/.scbl/site. This is where asdf-install would put it. Then I copied the function sysdef-source-dir-search from the current asdf-install release to installer.lisp in SBCL’s version. Finally, I add that function to asdf:system-definition-search-functions so ASDF can find stuff in .sbcl/site.

It turns out that the default method SLIME uses to communicate with the Lisp interpreter causes problems with the way s-sysdeps sets up the socket listening function in SBCL. The workaround is to set swank:communication-style to :fd-handler, but it has to be set before SLIME starts, so put the following form in ~/.swank.lisp

(defparameter swank:communication-style :fd-handler)

Now to get KPAX to work with mod_lisp…
