Package: common-lisp-controller Version: 7.0 Upon installing version 7.0 of common-lisp-controller, cl-swank breaks. (This is using sbcl 1:1.0.31.0-2, cl-swank 1:20090908-1). This is because swank uses CALCULATE-FASL-ROOT, which was exported by the older (6.*) versions of clc, but seemingly not by 7.0.
I've attached the log of the error you get trying to load swank, but it doesn't really contain much more relevant information. Rupert
