Re: [Bug: 21.4.15] Clearcase support doesn't work on Linux?

Hi Adrian, I tried out putting these lines in my init.el (require 'vc-hooks) ;;; Required for both vc and vc-cc (require 'tramp-vc) (unless (noninteractive) (clearcase-integrate)) And I also put these lines in my .emacs: (setq clearcase-auto-dired-mode t) (setq clearcase-command-messages t) (setq clearcase-diff-on-checkin t) (setq clearcase-dired-highlight t) (setq clearcase-use-normal-diff t) (setq vc-auto-dired-mode nil) (setq vc-cc-use-normal-diff t) (setq vc-cleartool-path "/usr/atria/bin/cleartool") ;;; the path the cleartool on our linux network (setq vc-diff-switches "-u") (setq vc-initial-comment t) I still seem to get the same problem when I load a file to edit. It has the message: "waiting for cleartool to start ..." and gets stuck in that state. I can't even exit from xemacs. But when I kill the process in linux I get a lisp trace (see attached file).

I'm wondering if clearcase version control conflicts with the other version control (PLC VCS) that is automatically loaded into our tool? Is

there a way of unloading "vc" before loading clearcase in my init.el?

I use clearcase mode happily in native Windows XEmacs under Windows XP SP2 (used it since Windows NT, IIRC). I have this in my site-start.el (for the benefit of multiple users): (require 'vc-hooks) ;;; Required for both vc and vc-cc (require 'tramp-vc) (unless (noninteractive) (clearcase-integrate)) I have something like these in the equivalent of my .emacs (I actually use (custom-set-variables ...)): (setq clearcase-auto-dired-mode t) (setq clearcase-command-messages t) (setq clearcase-diff-on-checkin t) (setq clearcase-dired-highlight t) (setq clearcase-use-normal-diff t) (setq vc-auto-dired-mode nil) (setq vc-cc-use-normal-diff t) (setq vc-cleartool-path "c:\\Program Files\\Rational\\ClearCase\\bin\\cleartool.exe") (setq vc-diff-switches "-u") (setq vc-initial-comment t) Hope this helps, feedback appreciated, Adrian > > Thanks, > > Sandy > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Stephen J.
