(I opened the file in Emacs, then went M- > x clojure-jack-in, then got "Could not start swank server: Couldn't > find project.clj"). Slime is the Emacs client application. Swank is the server which the Slime client communicates with. In Clojure's case, the Swank server runs on the JVM and therefore needs the classpath to be set up correctly. Leiningen is a tool that will set up the classpath for you (amongst many other things). I believe that clojure-jack-in requires Leiningen to work. I have never used it, so can't be sure. I tend to use the swank jar directly from Leiningen: > > Also, I don't understand this: > > "Simply start swank in a Clojure project with lein2 swank". > > Is "lein2 swank" a shell command issued from inside a Clojure project > folder? This is what I mean by using the swank jar directly from Leiningen. In this case I'm using Leiningen 2.x (hence lein2) and I'm asking it to run the swank task. I do this from the command line, outside of Emacs. Sam -- http://sam.aaron.name -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
