I have started using clojure for some serious programming and, obviously, org comes to mind as my development environment, having very successfully used org+babel for Octave code development. Clojure is installed just fine and I have been using leiningen for project management up to now (just to get started). However, in trying to use org, I am hitting a wall in getting clojure source code blocks to be evaluated. Can somebody on the list that has been using clojure with org-babel please help me get going? I am getting stuck in getting the whole slime or swank or whatever bits that are necessary working in Emacs 24.0.x... I have searched extensively on the web and have tried a number of approaches, including elpa to install clojure-mode, slime, et al., as suggested by the =org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-clojure= tutorial on Worg, but have not yet managed to get a working setup. In particular, depending on the version of elpa I use (this is where the /bleeding edge/ issue in my subject above comes in), I get different errors. With the latest version of elpa, I cannot find the swank-clojure package! With older versions, I cannot get slime to install. Sigh. I am quite surprised at the difficulty in getting a proper lisp support installed in Emacs! Any advice more than welcome!
