As a matter of fact, it was much better than that 8 months ago, but the improvements took a while to become common knowledge. This is a massive problem with Clojure -- there's way too much outdated information out there.
For your sanity's sake: don't mess with manual Clojure installation etc. Just use leiningen for everything. It pulls in the Clojure compiler and runtime on its own, offers a much more useful REPL, and even handles Emacs integration these days. In conjunction with package.el/Emacs24, there's not a single thing you have to install manually.
You were absolutely right. I've got leiningen running in one swat (sudo apt-get install leiningen). Will mosey out to get clojure-swank running on emacs next. :)

Thank you, I greatly appreciate your time and help. I will follow your suggestions which sound an awful lot more simple.
