Clojure + emacs/slime without the magic package install stuff

Sometimes I just want to install stuff into emacs manually so I know what's going on. Here's a minimal setup to use emacs slime and connect to a swank server with a repl

I stick everything in the /opt directory. I'm using clojure 1.3.0-alpha3

git clone git://git.boinkor.net/slime.git

git clone https://github.com/technomancy/swank-clojure.git

setup emacs:

(add-to-list 'load-path "/opt/clojure-mode")
(require 'clojure-mode)

(add-to-list 'load-path "/opt/slime")

(eval-after-load "slime"
  '(progn
     (slime-setup '(slime-repl))))
(require 'slime)

(That last 'eval-after-load' bit is to enable the slime-repl. Recent versions of slime come without it enabled by default)

Go to your project directory and start the swank server:

java -cp "lib/*:.:/opt/swank-clojure/src:/opt/clojure-1.3.0-alpha3/clojure.jar" clojure.main -e "(use 'swank.swank)(apply -main *command-line-args*)" /dev/null "$@"

In emacs, connect to swank server:
```
M-x slime-connect
```
