In Emacs, how can I see which slime version is being used?

Question

I just upgraded my slime using elpa in Emacs. But I wonder if things are like they should be now, because when I removed the old version using elpa, it complained it could not remove a certain folder. So, when I start up Emacs (I know, I shouldn't have closed it), how I can see which slime version actually gets used? Is there a command like M-x slime-version ?

Answer 1

There are no slime releases, just CVS snapshot. Use

(slime-changelog-date)

to get the latest changelog/commit date.

Answer 2

When you start a REPL with the M-x slime command, the SLIME version is shown on the first line of the REPL, like:

; SLIME 20100404

Btw you can always go to your elpa folder(the one in which elpa installs the packages) and remove the problematic folder by hand.
