I tried to use ELPA at first but I ran into some issues that I no longer recall. I ended up installing Clojure Box 1.0 from http://clojure.bighugh.com thinking that would give me a consistent collection of pieces. Since I already had a pretty extensively customized emacs already installed, I didn't use the emacs from clojure box. Instead I modified my _emacs file to use the pieces CB installed. The relevant portion of my _emacs is: ;; clojure-mode (add-to-list 'load-path "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Clojure Box\\clojure- mode") (require 'clojure-mode) ;; swank-clojure (add-to-list 'load-path "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Clojure Box\\swank- clojure") (require 'swank-clojure-autoload) (swank-clojure-config (setq swank-clojure-jar-path "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Clojure Box\ \clojure\\clojure-1.0.0.jar") (setq swank-clojure-extra-classpaths (list "C:\\Program Files (x86)\ \Clojure Box\\clojure-contrib\\clojure-contrib.jar" "C:\\projects\\clojure\ \ProgrammingClojure.code" ) ) ) ;; slime (eval-after-load "slime" '(progn (slime-setup '(slime-repl)))) (add-to-list 'load-path "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Clojure Box\\slime- cvs") (require 'slime) (slime-setup) > > Annoyingingly, emacs claims "C-c C-k is undefined" when I ask the help > > system about that binding. > > Sounds like you're invoking help from a context in which slime-mode is > not enabled; probably due to installing by hand and forgetting a step? I did some more digging and solved this one myself. I had rebound "help-for-help" to an alternate key sequence so that I could use ^H for something else that I now no longer need. When I reverted these changes, ^H k C-c C-k worked as expected. > Slime was designed for use with Common Lisp, which has a distinction > between compiled and interpreted code.

Oh, so can you confirm that error navigation is basically broken? Actually, I guess the relevant question is what CB 1.0's level of functionality is. If I can get access to a machine without emacs currently installed on it, I'll try to run the straight CB install and see how it behaves.
