8.1 Loading Contrib Packages

Contrib packages aren't loaded by default. You have to modify your setup a bit so that Emacs knows where to find them and which of them to load. Generally, you should call slime-setup with the list of package-names that you want to use. For example, a setup to load the slime-scratch and slime-editing-commands packages looks like:

     (setq inferior-lisp-program "/opt/sbcl/bin/sbcl") ; your Lisp system
     (add-to-list 'load-path "~/hacking/lisp/slime/")  ; your SLIME directory
     (require 'slime-autoloads)
     (slime-setup '(slime-scratch slime-editing-commands))

After starting SLIME, the commands of both packages should be available.
