Allow me to repeat that I was using the latest git cloned and cvs co'd
versions of all these components , a *completely blank* .emacs, and a
freshly installed Aquamacs. IOW, a pristine, completely up to date
install. Just because it worked on the day you did your setup most
definitely does *not* mean this is a reliable procedure.
Project dependencies which "change on a daily basis" are a bug, not a
feature. For any given project, in this case clojure, there is no
virtue whatsoever to the fact that some other project such as slime
changes daily. Just pick a recent working version and say "we know
that all recent svn updates of clojure work with this version of slime/
swank-clojure/clojure-mode."

Remember the context: "Getting Started." The context is NOT bleeding
edge developers who want the very latest build of everything. If you
want the very latest slime, etc., you should be on your own.
