http://askubuntu.com – I've just updated to 12.04. Everything works fine except for the latest custom-build emacs. It says now: emacs: symbol lookup error: emacs: undefined symbol: gtk_window_set_has_resize_grip So I've decided to re-build emacs. For that I've git pull the latest snapshot, and have done everything as I usually do, but now I get an error during compilation: In file included from /home/boris/its/blds/emacs/lib-src/emacsclient.c:76:0: ../lib/getopt.h:196:8: error: redefinition of ‘struct option’ /usr/include/getopt.h:106:8: note: originally defined here ../lib/getopt.h:245:12: error: conflictin (HowTos)

I want to use emacs command as a substitution for emacsclient -c -a "", which according to man connects to an existing emacs daemon, or creates a new daemon and connects to it otherwise. So i created a shell script emacs, which calls the aforementioned command in my ~/bin, which itself is included in $PATH.

How to use ESC key for Emacs 18 weeks 1 day ago

When typing Esc within an Emacs window under Unity (Emacs 23 standard package), the sound is turned on/off, but Emacs does not receive the key.

How can I change (probably) unity such that the Esc and also the other function keys are interpreted by Emacs?

A very crude workaround that always works in (GNU) Emacs is to use C-[ in place of Esc.

The question Why is the meta key is not working wh

I start emacs daemon with the following commnad.

$ emacs --daemon

This seems to work.

I am using Linux Fedora 13 (Constantine) and emacs 23.1.1. I am trying to set up a .emacs file for initialization, by using emacs itself to edit and save a file .emacs in my home directory. However, although the file is there, emacs does not seem to recognize it.

Emacs as Root 1 year 16 weeks ago

Running 'sudo emacs -nw ....' works, but does not give me any of the customizations in my ~/.emacs file. This is because emacs is looking in /home/root/.emacs? I created a soft link from my ~/.emacs to the root's home, but then emacs was not happy about other code it required in ~/.emacs.d/.

I've tried apt-get purging and reinstalling emacs, but if I run:

Code: emacs ~/.bashrc I get a blank file (emacs.d) that looks like this:

If I run the same command as root:

Code: sudo emacs ~/.bashrc I get the correct file that looks like this:

I've never understood the buffer thing, but emacs has worked great for me in the past.

installing emacs on fedora 17 30 weeks 6 days ago

Hi comm, I'd appreciate somebody could help me with this.

I got this trying to run emacs for the first time$ emacs emacs: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-3.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directoryUpdate: sudo ldconfig fixed the problem .

Hello, I've compiled Emacs 24, but wanted to install into it ECB and some more modules available through RPM, however when I try to install it, yum shows that it is going to install emacs-common (which is both older and redundant, as I already have emacs installed). How can I tell it that Emacs is already present and there is no need to download another version?

Thanks.
