Which is exactly the problem with Clojure in Emacs. There are N sets of instructions out there, and N-1 of them are out of date. And even the Nth one is incomplete. "Step 1: Install clojure-mode either from Marmalade or from git."
What if you don't know how to do that? So you click through to the 'Marmelade' site. Step 1: "First install package.el" with a link to package.el and no other info. Initially I ran into issues trying to get it set up, and finally I just decided to run 'lein repl' and just edit in emacs. This is a little inconvenient though. I finally got it working yesterday, and then after about five minutes of using it, it just sort of stopped working. No clue why. Back to 'lein repl' in an attempt to get something useful done for the afternoon. Step 1: In case anybody reads this; I think I did this, although this will no doubt become out of date. ;-) Download package.el from the marmelate site. Do not download the other one. Create an .emacs.d directory under your home dir, and save package.el there. Then add the following to your .emacs file in your home dir. (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/") (require 'package) (add-to-list 'package-archives '("marmalade" . "http://marmalade- repo.org/packages/")) (package-initialize) On Oct 30, 5:34 pm, Phil Hagelberg <p...@hagelb.org> wrote: > On Sat, Oct 29, 2011 at 10:54 PM, mdave <fresh...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On Sep 10, 9:48 pm, Kugathasan Abimaran <k.abima...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Follow these instructions, it will > >> work..http://riddell.us/ClojureWithEmacsSlimeSwankOnUbuntu.html > > > Sadly, the instructions break right where it says: > > Those instructions are badly out of date.
