It should be much simpler than that. Leiningen has a "lein self-install" command that downloads all the basic dependencies. See here: http://www.assembla.com/wiki/show/clojure/Getting_Started_with_Leiningen http://www.assembla.com/wiki/show/clojure/Getting_Started_wi... Once Leiningen is installed, dependencies are handled automatically. You can use "lein new my-project" to create a new project skeleton, and then customize the project.clj file to add in new dependencies. Most Clojure projects are now up on clojars.org, which is one of the repositories included by default in Leiningen.

You're right, I was acting on some mistaken premises, I'm up and running now, thanks for the tip.

I helped a friend get up and running with clojure this weekend. It's pretty simple with leiningen, just add swank, elpa and one is good to go! Of course I've wasted inumerable hours myself in the past trying to get it to work in the past but now I think it easily just works without much tweaking. We set it up two good on two OSX machines in just 20 minutes each. It would be nice though to just build a little ruby gem with the lein binary. "gem install leiningen" but that would be violating the language barriers :)
