1. ecb-images permissions

After installing ecb and starting emacs, I got this error

Opening directory: Permission denied, /opt/local/share/emacs/site-lisp /ecb-images

The permissions for this directory and all descendents are set to 700

sudo ls -ld /opt/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/ecb-images drwx------ 6 root admin 204 Nov 9 14:29 /opt/local/share/emacs/site- lisp/ecb-images

2. cedet dependency

Following the instructions to start ecb, I got an error message that the desired version of cedet was unavailable. It looks like macports is installing a newer version of cedet-devel that ecb can not work with.

(require 'ecb)

M-x ecb-active

ECB 2.40 - Error: ECB can only be used with cedet [1.0pre6, 1.0.9]! Please install it and restart Emacs!

$ port deps ecb

Library Dependencies: emacs, cedet-devel

$ port search cedet-devel

The error message about the version is a bit of a distraction. There is some extra configuration required for cedet and ecb to work. The following commands need to be executed to be able to use cedet and ecb. [[br]] [[br]] (load-file "/opt/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/common/cedet.el") [[br]] (require 'ecb) [[br]] [[br]] I put these in my ~/.emacs file. If there is a site wide file that can get updated when the ports are installed, that would be preferable.

I've never used emacs, cedet or ecb so I don't know what to do with this. If you figure out what needs to be changed, let us know; if you can create a patch for the portfile that fixes the problem, and attach it to this ticket, that's even better.

This is currently (if regrettably) the expected behavior for elisp packages: we install and (usually) byte-compile them but don't add anything to load them at runtime. I'd like to change this at some point and set up a systemwide site-start.el file that does the right thing to load each package, but it's complicated a bit by the fact that there are multiple available versions of emacs (emacs, emacs22, emacs-app, emacs- app-devel), some of which can be installed simultaneously. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/27782#comment:7> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
