Just to update, I've confirmed that this also happens on Ubuntu Linux. I did a fresh install of ubuntu and followed the guide at: http://riddell.us/tutorial/slime_swank/slime_swank.html
I also tried the emacs starter kit approach at: http://technomancy.us/126 On the bright side, whilst read-line doesn't work, a simple hello world JFrame can be brought up from the slime repl on Ubuntu, whereas I find this hangs on windows xp: (doto (javax.swing.JFrame. "Hello World") (.setVisible true)) Maybe this is an issue with emacs itself. I noticed that trying to run a python repl from inside an emacs shell doesn't work unless the "-i" option is given to python.exe, where -i is described as: "inspect interactively after running script, (also PYTHONINSPECT=x) and forces prompt, even if stdin dose not appear to be a terminal." The emacs python-mode library uses the -i option when creating a repl, so I'm wondering if clojure-mode needs something similar. Unfortunately that's as far as I've got with understanding the problem/ solution.
