I'm a clojure noob trying to get emacs & slime set up. There doesn't seem to be one true way to do this, so I've followed a few blog posts and the swank-clojure and leiningen READMEs.
Mostly it works. My problem is that if I try to select restart 0 [QUIT] from a backtrace, I get
'error in process filter: Wrong number of arguments: nil, 0'
(I also see a warning on 'M-x slime-connect' about slime and swank being mismatched versions, but Googling suggests this is expected).
This is Debian Lenny. I got slime via 'git clone git://git.boinkor.net/slime.git'. Clojure and clojure-contrib are 1.2.0, and swank-clojure is 1.2.1.
Anyone seen this? Alternatively, is there an up-to-date list of compatible versions of all the pieces? Many thanks.
Edit:
Looks like it is probably this issue. I followed the same blog post as the OP in that thread.
Edit:
Yes. Getting slime and slime-repl packages using ELPA fixed it.
Here's an update for google: things have changed since the previous answers and the correct way to start swank/slime is now via the clojure-jack-in command in recent versions of clojure-mode, which uses the corresponding lein jack-in command in recent versions of swank-clojure. Using clojure-jack-in, all the Emacs dependencies other than clojure-mode are automatically installed for you. DO NOT install slime.el or slime-repl.el manually, via ELPA or via git.
