Run ECL with Sly

Run ECL with Sly

[André A. Gomes]

Hi Guix,

This is a question for Common Lispers.

From Emacs, C-u M-x sly RET ecl RET, results in the error below (from
the inferior-lisp buffer).

Can anyone reproduce it?  If my memory isn't tricking me, I believe I
used to have it successfully in the past.  Thanks.

Hi!

Unfortunately I cannot reproduce it: running Emacs in a pure shell like this:

<snip>
$ guix shell --pure emacs ecl emacs-sly
[env] $ TERM=screen-256color emacs -Q -nw
<snap>

and starting sly with ecl works as expected.

For reference I haven't 'guix pull'ed in a couple of days, this is the output of 
guix describe:

Hi Mario,

The issue is coming from my machine indeed.  I've followed your recipe
and it worked for me too.  I also tested on another Guix machine of mine
and it worked too.  Another day, another mystery.  Thanks!
