I'm about to try that (in the middle of trying another thing at the moment), and this isn't to you in particular, but as a general complaint, why do I have to have a project.clj file to get a nice repl in emacs?

if you have slime installed, you should just be able to "M-x slime" to open a clojure REPL. At least that's how it works in my emacs.

  Heh. If you have a procedure that's that simple, please blog about it. Here's what I had to do: - Download the lein script and put it in my PATH - Download package.el and put it in my .emacs load-path - lein self-install - make a project directory, and 'lein new projname .' inside it - modify the resulting project.clj to add :dev-dependencies [[leiningen/lein-swank "1.1.0"] [swank-clojure "1.2.1"]] - lein deps in said directory - Install package.el, and then install slime, clojure-mode, slime-repl, and swank-clojure with it (and fight with it and get confused about why it didn't know about slime-repl until I installed it several times but then noticed it when I restarted Aquamacs) - lein swank in said directory - M-x slime-connect from Aquamacs Am I doin it rong?

    1. I installed ELPA from here: http://tromey.com/elpa/install.html http://tromey.com/elpa/install.html 2. Ran "M-x package-list-packages" 3. Installed clojure-mode, slime, slime-repl, and swank-clojure. Then I rebooted emacs and "M-x slime" just works for me (aquamacs).

      This is what I did too. It works, and is simple and easy. The downside is that it sort of "takes over" SLIME and prevents you from easily using other Lisps with it. As a frequent SBCL user, I found this annoying. I ended up putting a switch in my .emacs which I can turn on and off depending on whether I want my SLIME to use Clojure, or some other Lisp. Suboptimal, and someone really needs to fix this Clojure-SLIME integration problem, but it serves my needs.

        That's why the leiningen option with lein swank is useful :).
