clojure-jack-in failing with clean install of Emacs on OSX w/ clojure-mode

[spoon16]

I'm trying to run clojure-jack-in and getting this

I'm running GNU Emacs 24.1.50.1 using lein-swank 1.4.4 and leiningen 2 preview 6. Not sure how to debug.

That's expected behaviour. Does the slime repl buffer fail to open?

[spoon16]

in the command area it says error in process filter: Symbol's function definition is void: slime-connect

The REPL buffer does not open.

[technomancy]

Not sure what's going on, but you could try removing ~/.emacs.d/swank; it's possible one of the files in there was truncated.

I did that a few times. Even tried completely removing lein, emacs, clojure libs, etc... nothing seemed to work. I gave up for the evening, everything is working fine on my other machines.

Had same issue (emacs from git) but went away after an emacs update

Having the same issue with Leiningen 2 preview 6 and 1.7.1, emacs update didn't work either.
