Hey Glenn, I feel your pain. Here's how I've set things up on my Mac:
Created ~/.clojure Inside there I have this: $ ls -l total 72 drwxr-xr-x 8 gslepak gslepak 272 Jun 26 19:12 clj.git/ -rwxr-xr-x@ 1 gslepak gslepak 2201 Jun 30 02:05 clj.lsp* drwxr-xr-x 11 gslepak gslepak 374 Jun 26 17:26 clojure-1.1/ drwxr-xr-x 16 gslepak gslepak 544 Jun 26 17:23 clojure-contrib-1.1/ drwxr-xr-x 6 gslepak gslepak 204 Jun 26 17:18 clojure-contrib-dev/ lrwxr-xr-x 1 gslepak gslepak 39 Jun 27 22:51 clojure-contrib.jar@ -> clojure-contrib-dev/clojure-contrib.jar drwxr-xr-x 18 gslepak gslepak 612 Jun 28 22:38 clojure.git/ lrwxr-xr-x 1 gslepak gslepak 23 Jun 27 22:51 clojure.jar@ -> clojure.git/clojure.jar lrwxr-xr-x 1 gslepak gslepak 65 Jun 27 22:58 jline.jar@ -> /Users/gslepak/.m2/repository/jline/jline/0.9.94/jline-0.9.94.jar drwxr-xr-x 18 gslepak gslepak 612 Jun 26 18:33 leiningen.git/ I tried liebke's clj stuff (it's listed there as clj.git), but because of this issue I don't use it: http://github.com/liebke/clj/issues#issue/4 Basically I've downloaded the clojure 1.1 release, but also the git repository for 1.2. Similar for clojure-contrib, except I grabbed the last working build from the nightly builds on http://build.clojure.org/job/clojure-contrib/ because the git repo doesn't compile (it has bugs). Anyway, I then have clojure.jar and clojure-contrib.jar symlinks pointing to the versions I want. In addition, I've written my own clj script that's pretty smart and makes it easy to switch between clojure versions, you can find its source here: http://www.taoeffect.com/other/clj.lsp.html It requires newlisp installed, but newlisp is like ~200KB and simple to install via a standard OS X install package obtainable from newlisp.org. Plus it's an awesome scripting language. My clj script will respect the CLOJURE_HOME environment variable, and I can also easily point it to use another clojure jar file using the -c flag. Finally, I've also had problems getting the Clojure.tmbundle working. Rather, everything works, except for the REPL, which seems completely broken and nothing I tried would fix it. I even tried getting some of the forked versions but they all failed as well. I recommend IntelliJ, it might not be the perfect Mac solution, but it's a really nice IDE and I've made setup instructions here: http://gregslepak.posterous.com/clojure-development-with-intellijs-la-clojure Hope that helps! - Greg On Jun 30, 2010, at 12:01 PM, Glenn, Jacob wrote: > On 6/29/10 8:46 PM, "Sean Corfield" <seancorfi...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> I just installed that (on OS X 10.6.4) and I went this route: >> >> Download the ZIP file.
