Hi all, I followed the above swank-clojure instructions using both Aquamacs and the plain emacs for Mac OS X on my Leopard Macbook. I also tried it on an Ubuntu (Hardy) desktop.
In all of these cases the process fails when slime tries to connect to the Lisp interpreter. Just to be explicit, here are the steps I followed (using Linux this time): 1. Install ELPA using http://tromey.com/elpa/install.html (No problems) 2. Install clojure-mode using M-x package-list-packages, typing i next to clojure-mode, and then x There were a few warnings with this step, but clojure-mode seems to be working afterwards. 3. Install swank-clojure using M-x package-list-packages, typing i next to swank-clojure, and then x There were quite a few warnings with this step. (If I don't install clojure-mode explicitly before swank-clojure, this step ends with an error) 4. M-x slime, answer yes when asking to install Clojure. This ends with an error: It looks like Clojure is not installed. Install now?

Wrote /home/andreas/.swank-clojure/swank-clojure-1.0.jar byte-code: Wrong number of arguments: delete-directory, 2 Further attempts at M-x slime produces the following error, which is probably expected since there is no clojure jar in my home dir, just the swank clojure jar. The error: (require 'swank.swank) (swank.swank/ignore-protocol-version nil) (swank.swank/start-server "/tmp/slime.31171" :encoding "iso-latin-1- unix") Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: clojure/ main Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: clojure.main at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java: 217) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java: 205) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java: 323) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java: 294) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java: 268) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java: 336) Could not find the main class: clojure.main.

Any tips? Thanks, Andreas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
