That is odd indeed.  You seem to be using sbcl.  What version?

You also seem to get a functioning *inferior-lisp* buffer.  What do
you get if you evaluate (swank-loader::binary-pathname #P"foo.lisp")
in it?  Or (user-homedir-pathname)?

As far as I can tell from the code, ~/.slime is not created as a
separate step, but impicitly through a call to
ensure-directories-exist when compiling source files.

Oh, and there should be a swank-loader.fasl in the slime directory.
It should get recompiled automatically if swank-loader.lisp is
changed, but you may wish to remove it just in case.
