Lisp n00b here too, and it's VERY frustating. Makes me remember the days where installing apache with php meant one day of reading docs and another afternoon of compiling. It's one hell of a learning curve, and it's mostly unnecessary: it's not about programming or system architecture, just about luck and getting it right. Right now i'm having trouble connecting emacs to a remote slime for the first time. Started slime, created the tunnel, tried to slime-connect to localhost and... a strage error. I'll dive into it again on monday, but it'll probably be days before I either figure it out or go around it. And the first time I tried lispmod with clisp on linux? Had to recompile the apache module with a line commented. Bad ideea anyways, since clisp doesn't have multithreading. Don't get me wrong, i can't wait to start making software in lisp, it's just ... it's taking months to get there.
