problems with slime

[RÄzvan Rotaru <razvan dot rotaru at gmail dot com>]

Hi,

I'm trying to connect slime to kawa, and ran into some issues. I'm
starting the swank server by hand like this:

razvan@ro-rotaru:~$ kawa -e '(begin (require "swank-kawa.scm")
(create-swank-server 4005))'
Listening on port: 4005


Then I'm connecting with a swank client (it's a vim script, not
emacs), but get an error:

connection: Socket[addr=/127.0.0.1,port=59493,localport=4005]

The problem is more likely in the way i'm setting up the swank server,
than in the swank client, since it works for other lisps. Any ideas
what could be wrong?

Thanks,
