Hi there, Attached is a trivial patch to initialize slime-lisp-implementations by looking for Debian packaged Common-Lisp implementations on path. This is far from ideal, but it is a start and it allows me to run $ emacs -f slime to start emacs and get directly into a slime session (provided I have clisp, ecl, sbcl or cmucl on my $PATH). Greetings, Torsten
