That was the same problem it gave me. When I follow those steps. Since you already install some stuff, what I did was erase the ~/.emcas.d/ folder (rm -r ~/.emacs.d) and the ~/src/ folder (I don't remember what, but something got installed there form clojure, and that was the only thing I had there, that's why I could just erase the whole folder), and ~/.emacs. So basically to install it, I un-install all the stuff that did work how I expected.
After this I follow this steps: 1. Install emacs from here: http://emacsformacosx.com/ 2. Install Elpa in emacs, following the instructions from: http://tromey.com/elpa/install.html 3. Install swank-clojure using ELPA: M-x package-list-packages, typing i next to swank-clojure (http://technomancy.us/swank-clojure) 4. Than just do M-x slime. At this point it will say that clojure is not install, and ask if you want to install it, just say yes. This will do the rest. It will download and install for you all you need. Slime, Clojure, etc. Once you do this it should work. It worked for me. Once you do the installation using steps 1, 2 and 3, you'll have a new ~/.emacs, ~/.emacs.d. Notice that if you have Aquamacs install your ~/ Library/Preferences/Aquamacs\ Emacs/Preferences.el will not work, since you have a ~/.emacs, so in order to use Aquamacs and use it with out problems, you have to edit your ~/.emacs file, just put ";" at the beginning of each line you don't want to be consider. By the way, your ~/Library/Preferences/Aquamacs\ Emacs/customizations.el might be change, and have some lines that say that where included by Elpa, I erase those lines as well, so I would suggest to do that. Hope this helps. Good luck Andreas.
