emacs error: Package `clojure-mode' is not available for installation

[Menelaos Perdikeas]

I am following the instructions on:

https://github.com/technomancy/clojure-mode/blob/master/README.md

on how to setup emacs with Clojure-mode.
I am running GNU Emacs 23.3.1 in Ubuntu. Launching my Emacs fails with:

error: Package `clojure-mode' is not available for installation


The relevant section of my .emacs file is:

(if
(= emacs-major-version 23)
(load "package")
)

(progn
(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
'("marmalade", "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages"))
(package-initialize)
)

(progn ;; Clojure mode and Paredit
(when (not (package-installed-p 'clojure-mode))
(package-install 'clojure-mode))
(if nil ;; turn Paredit off for now
(when (not (package-installed-p 'paredit))
(package-install 'paredit)
)
(progn ;; Paredit
;; (require 'paredit) if you didn't install via package.el
(defun turn-on-paredit () (paredit-mode 1))
(add-hook 'clojure-mode-hook 'turn-on-paredit)
)
)
)

I had various issues with clojure-mode, swank, slime, etc. with emacs 23 until I switched to emacs 24.

Emacs 24 is much simpler to download now (don't have to compile from source) and is likely the quickest solution to all your clojure/emacs issues.
