If there's no particular reason for you to use slime-1.2.1, I would
recommend using SLIME's CVS HEAD, which works fine for me.  (SLIME's
release policy isn't terribly proactive, I believe; however, the SBCL
developers attempt to make sure that SLIME CVS works with the last two
releases of SBCL where possible -- but there's no way in general for
SBCL developers to be able to support old slimes.

Cheers,

Christophe

Use the SLIME in CVS. The SLIME 1.2.1 tarball is quite old (months! ;-)
and doesn't incorporate some changes required to track corresponding
changes on the SBCL side. Instructions for downloading SLIME from CVS
can be found on the SLIME web site.
