Pressing TAB at the Dialect: prompt will offer completions, such as
"sbcl" or "clisp-hs".  Pick a dialect that you have installed.

Do you see any difference? :)

M-x run-lisp is function of standard Emacs Lisp mode, while M-x run-ilisp
is function of ILisp, and they are are not compatible.

BTW, you can run CLisp with M-x clisp-hs, Guile with M-x guile, and so
on.

no connection lisp-mode buffer and *inferior-lisp*

Hi,

I posted the message below a couple of days ago and didn't get any
response. I guess not many people on this list are using ilisp but
maybe someone can redirect me to some place where I could get help?

since upgrading to emacs 21.3 I can't get the connection between a
source lisp file and an inferior lisp buffer. It used to work fine
before.

I started up an inferior lisp with "M-x run-lisp", which establishes
an *inferior-lisp* buffer. Trying to evaluate an expression in a
lisp-mode buffer, I get the error "You must start an inferior LISP
with run-ilisp" in the command buffer. Doing that and specifying
"lisp" as the Dialect won't help either.

Below is my configuration concerning lisp/scheme in my .emacs.

I had the same problem with scheme but found out that this goes away
if I switch to scheme-mode in an arbitrary buffer *before* issuing
"M-x run-scheme". After that it works with all scheme-mode buffers. I
suspect some scheme-mode hook taking care of establishing a link
between scheme mode buffers and the scheme process but couldn't find
the culprit. Now I just have (scheme-mode) in my .emacs as a
workaround. I'd rather solve that cleaner though.

Thanx for any hints,
Orm

no connection lisp-mode buffer and *inferior-lisp*

[Orm Finnendahl]

Hi,

since upgrading to emacs 21.3 I can't get the connection between a
source lisp file and an inferior lisp buffer. It used to work fine
before.

I started up an inferior lisp with "M-x run-lisp", which establishes
an *inferior-lisp* buffer. Trying to evaluate an expression in a
lisp-mode buffer, I get the error "You must start an inferior LISP
with run-ilisp" in the command buffer. Doing that and specifying
"lisp" as the Dialect won't help either.

Below is my configuration concerning lisp/scheme in my .emacs.

I had the same problem with scheme but found out that this goes away
if I switch to scheme-mode in an arbitrary buffer *before* issuing
"M-x run-scheme". After that it works with all scheme-mode buffers. I
suspect some scheme-mode hook taking care of establishing a link
