Then use slime-connect to hook up. No longer are we to get our own copy of swank-clojure in el and install it ourselves.

I haven't downloaded any Clojure or emacs-specific Clojure stuff since then. My REPL for Clojure still works with precompiled JARs that it fetched itself. I hope the above still works, or I just won't ever upgrade. I fought with Leiningen and Maven for way too long back in May.

I was just trying to follow this, and in the middle of the readme for for swank-clojure I read: <blockquote> Previous versions of Swank Clojure bundled an Elisp library called swank-clojure.el that provided ways to launch your swank server from within your Emacs process. While swank-clojure is still distributed with the project, it's a much more error-prone way of doing things than the method outlined above. </blockquote> where "the method outlined above" was some stuff about Leiningen and Maven that was just Greek to me, since I am just trying to get started with Clojure, and want a pretty much vanilla Clojure REPL to work with.

I was just trying to follow this, and in the middle of the readme for for swank-clojure I read:

Previous versions of Swank Clojure bundled an Elisp library called
swank-clojure.el that provided ways to launch your swank server from
within your Emacs process. While swank-clojure is still distributed
with the project, it’s a much more error-prone way of doing things
than the method outlined above.

where “the method outlined above” was some stuff about Leiningen and Maven that was just Greek to me, since I am just trying to get started with Clojure, and want a pretty much vanilla Clojure REPL to work with.

This seems like “just figure out all about ASDF and then you can start your lisp environment…”

I had the same problem a few months ago and I gave up by commenting the clojure elisp code out when I worked with SBCL and the SBCL elisp code when I worked with Clojure. Now I don't need to do that :D Thanks!

Until now, I've been forced to use inferior lisp mode for either clojure or common lisp after they started adding all of the newbie friendly automagic install stuff to clojure mode.

I had a similar experience until I discovered Incanter [1], the numerical/scientific computing package that is built on Clojure. It has the only sane Clojure getting-started installation procedure I could find [2] for someone using emacs/slime.

I'm on a Mac. Further, I already have Emacs, Slime, paredit, and clojure-mode installed and running. I already had Clojure running. I just wanted to make it go with swank-clojure. There are a variety of "out-of-the-box" and "pre-packaged" solutions for lots of things that I want to do. I generally don't want six copies of everything on my machine though (especially when "everything" includes Emacs and a Lisp implementation), so I prefer to steer clear of those things when I can... or stick to only one "pre-package" system. 1/2 the point of package management is lost if I need five separate copies of libX11.dylib and eight copies of freetype.h on my machine.
