slime doesn't work in emacs24

I use emacs24 in archlinux.If i use the slime packages from marmalade.org,then when i use M-x slime the error is:

debugger invoked on a SB-INT:SIMPLE-FILE-ERROR in thread
#<THREAD "initial thread" RUNNING {AB007A9}>:
  Couldn't load
  "/home/sinners/.emacs.d/elpa/slime-20100404.1/swank-loader.lisp": file does
  not exist.

Type HELP for debugger help, or (SB-EXT:QUIT) to exit from SBCL.

restarts (invokable by number or by possibly-abbreviated name):
  0: [ABORT] Exit debugger, returning to top level.

but if i use the slime-cvs packages from the offical site,the error is:

Debugger entered: (("Error in timer" slime-attempt-connection (#<process inferior-lisp> nil 2) (void-variable --cl-accu--)))
  #[257 "\302\303\304\300\301F\"\207" [slime-attempt-connection (#<process inferior-lisp> nil 2) debug nil "Error in timer"] 7 "\n\n(fn DATA)"]((void-variable --cl-accu--))
  funcall(#[257 "\302\303\304\300\301F\"\207" [slime-attempt-connection (#<process inferior-lisp> nil 2) debug nil "Error in timer"] 7 "\n\n(fn DATA)"] (void-variable --cl-accu--))
  slime-timer-call(slime-attempt-connection #<process inferior-lisp> nil 2)
  apply(slime-timer-call (slime-attempt-connection #<process inferior-lisp> nil 2))
  byte-code("r\301\302H\303H\"\210)\301\207" [timer apply 5 6] 4)
  timer-event-handler([t 20271 59188 161536 0.3 slime-timer-call (slime-attempt-connection #<process inferior-lisp> nil 2) nil])

anyone can help me?

I had the exact same problem, which was solved by deleting the slime.elc file, that I had compiled earlier using byte-recompile-directory. I didn't try compiling it again.

Problem with --cl-accu-- variable signs about breakage of emacs cl package in presence of lexical scoping. Try to go to slime.el in your slime distribution, find string ;; lexical-binding: t in the ;; Local Variables: section at the end of the file and change it to ;; lexical-binding: nil. And remove old slime.elc file if you have one.

I'm not sure, but this problem can be due to different versions of SLIME and SWANK. However you should just use pacman to install a lisp implementation ­(I think that SBCL is the most popular implementation on Linux) and then use quicklisp to install everything else.

See this blog post to see how to install SWANK and SLIME with quicklisp.
