Assuming you downloaded Lispbox from here: http://common-lisp.net/project/lispbox/ then it seems the latest release of Lispbox was 3.5 years ago. This means Lispbox uses a version of Emacs (23.2) which not only doesn't include 3.5 years' worth of bug fixes, but which also doesn't include `package.el` by default - and `package.el` makes it /much/ easier (in my experience) to install the latest version of SLIME (as well as many other dev-related packages). So i feel you would probably be better off downloading Emacs 24.4, using the Emacs packaging system to install SLIME, and then customising further from there. Alexis.
