I tried to install clojure today using these instructions http://github.com/technomancy/swank-clojure
(after first wasting a couple of hours trying to follow these instructions linked to by clojure.org http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Clojure_Programming/Getting_Started#Installing_a_JAR) and I seem to be having the same problem. Below is a manually edited log of what I did. It appears that there is a compilation error in slime-repl.el and that everything after that fails (e.g. m-x slime complains that some swank files cannot be found). Any suggestions? thanks pt checked for cleanliness: - find / -name '*slime*' -print and removed anything that might be on the PATH - echo $CLASSPATH - it's empty - edited .emacs and removed ref to elpa - rm -rf ~/.emacs.d/elpa run emacs 23.1.1 typed this into *scratch*: (let ((buffer (url-retrieve-synchronously "http://tromey.com/elpa/package-install.el";))) (save-excursion (set-buffer buffer) (goto-char (point-min)) (re-search-forward "^$" nil 'move) (eval-region (point) (point-max)) (kill-buffer (current-buffer)))) - positioned cursor at end of this form and hit c-x c-e - m-x packages-list-packages - scrolled down to swank-clojure and hit 'i', then hit 'x' - *Compile-log* shows a bunch of warnings, and these errors: slime-repl.el:122:39:Error: No setf-method known for slime-connection-output-buffer Compiling no file at Sat Feb 20 12:21:19 2010 Compiling file /home/tarvydas/.emacs.d/elpa/swank-clojure-1.1.0/swank-clojure-pkg.el at Sat Feb 20 12:21:19 2010 Compiling file /home/tarvydas/.emacs.d/elpa/swank-clojure-1.1.0/swank-clojure.el at Sat Feb 20 12:21:19 2010 swank-clojure.el:47:1:Error: Cannot open load file: slime -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
