Hello, I am also using Leiningen in Ubuntu, and I feel your pain. One thing I would suggest is to remove anything related to your tool chain which was installed by Ubuntu. (except maybe emacs 24.x). You clearly have Clojure installed via the usual Ubuntu Software Center or related mechanism. Uninstall it!
I would skip directly to version 2 of Leiningen. You will find that dependency jars get dropped into the hidden file ~/.m2/repository, for example, when you use the "lein install" command that is where they go. Get clojure mode via the emacs package manager. Get the latest! I got stuck on an old version which caused much confusion. I still see version 1.7.1 in the list of packages, whereas I have installed version 1.11.5. I believe this is due to my .emacs file setting package archives for ELPA, gnu, and marmalade, and some obsolete stuff still exists and hazardous to the newbie. I don't have anything related to slime or swank or swank-clojure installed via the emacs package manager. However, I do have lein-swank listed in my ~/.lein/profile.clj file. Another thing to uninstall are any version of slime and swank which were installed via the "Ubuntu Software Center". These caused lots of confusion. This stuff may also be hanging out in your ~/.emacs.d directory. I installed version 24.x emacs manually. I'm not familiar with Ubuntu Precise, but perhaps that distribution is installing a usable version of emacs. I had to install a few libraries to get it all going, I think some X window related stuff using the Synaptic Package Manager. M-x clojure-jack-in is the way to fire up a repl running in an emacs buffer. I've got a working installation, it's easy to use and powerful, but if I said I could start from scratch again and make it work in 5 minutes I would be a liar. I think the best thing to do is a thorough housecleaning, start from scratch with version 2 leiningen, emacs 24 and latest clojure-mode. Good luck! I'm test driving nrepl next.
