#8956: XEmacs port missing base packages --------------------------------------------------+------------------------- Reporter: opendarwin.20.aarre@spamgourmet.org | Owner: mww@macports.org Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.2 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: --------------------------------------------------+------------------------- Changes (by mww@macports.org): * status: new => closed * resolution: => fixed Old description:
After installing the XEmacs port from DarwinPorts (version 21.4.17_2), starting XEmacs generates the error "Error in init file: Symbol's function definition is void: read-kbd-macro". According to various reports on the Internet (links below), this is characteristic of an XEmacs installation missing the base packages. Indeed, a search of the /opt directory for files ending in ".el" and containing the string "read- kbd-macro" returns no results.
aarre@129-79-195-194 /opt $ find . -name "*.el" | grep "read-kbd-macro"
Installing XEmacs from Fink solves the problem ;-)
