M-x install-clojure has been deprecated for quite some time now. If you work from the swank-clojure readme you should be able to get a usable setup with no headaches since it doesn't involve compiling code locally anymore. The CI server at build.clojure.org handles compilation issues for you, and only the stable versions of the elisp libraries are present on ELPA since those don't change very much any more. http://github.com/technomancy/swank-clojure If there are problems with the instructions there please bring them up on the mailing list or file a bug. > but it's hard for me to > think that this isn't especially frustrating for new users, who I > suspect will find that most tutorials or guides to setting up clojure > with slime (for example) aren't going to work at all. Outdated documentation is an annoyance for any project. I've kept the official docs up to date, but there are so many blog posts out there that point people towards methods that don't work any more; there's not much that can be done about that. Just pay attention to the posting date when you are looking for things like this; if you find a post that's over six months old you might need to think twice. -Phil -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
