Hi folks I had the same issue and i got round the problem desinstalling clojure- mode and slime-repl from elpa before installing swank-clojure (which installs the previous two again)
My env is a liitle bit strange. I have Vista with Clojure Box (with its own installation of slime-swank-clojure) and Ubuntu with emacs via apt-get sharing my .emacs.d with the technomancy's starter kit. Well I've got the thing working but with two small errors: 1.- swank-clojure.el refers to symbol "ignore-protocol-version" in swank/swank.clj in the init repl script but i have not seen any reference to this symbol in the last version of swank. Commenting the reference has been fixed. 2.- Before launch repl emacs warning the version of swank (2010xxxx) was different of slime version (nil) and asked me to continue. I found this code: (defvar slime-protocol-version nil) (setq slime-protocol-version (eval-when-compile (slime-changelog-date))) but in the launch of repl the value of slime-protocol-version was nil Repeating (require 'slime) (setq slime-protocol-version (eval-when-compile (slime-changelog-date))) in my user.el i avoid the warning I am a emacs newbie and i guess i am doing unnecesary and silly workarounds. sure someone has a clever explication and solution -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
