symbol's value as variable is void: allow-remote-paths 12 years, 11 months

Richard Cook

Hi, I compiled xemacs myself and installed into $HOME/xemacs-without-ipv6-cname I then made a symlink of $HOME/xemacs-without-ipv6-cname/bin/xemacs to $HOME/bin/xemacs I untarred the sumo tarball from http://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/packages/xemacs-sumo-2009-02-17.tar.gz and untarred it into $HOME/xemacs-without-ipv6-cname/lib/xemacs, which made a directory called xemacs-packages there. When I run xemacs, I am not able to update my packages. I go to Tools -> Packages -> Set Download Site -> Official Releases -> US and choose US Main. I then go "update package index" or any other command in the Tools menu about Packages and it complains: "symbol's value as variable is void: allow-remote-paths" Can anyone help me with this? Thanks. -- ✐Richard Cook ✇ Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Bldg-453 Rm-4024, Mail Stop L-557 7000 East Avenue, Livermore, CA, 94550, USA ☎ (office) (925) 423-9605 ☎ (fax) (925) 423-6961 --- Information Management & Graphics Grp., Services & Development Div., Integrated Computing & Communications Dept.

Fwd: xemacs winclient improvements 14 years, 4 months

Hi I'm back in business :) I switched from native Win32 to cygwin because of the non-matching Win32 permissions. Cygwin ACL's are sometimes fucked up by inheritance. So I have several improvements.

Fonts on XEmacs menu almost illegible after software upgrade 14 years, 4 months

Rodney Sparapani

This is a problem that popped up after a software upgrade for Sun Ray Server Software on Solaris. The fonts on the XEmacs menu were almost illegible. I haven't been able to track down where this is coming from and I have never seen a similar problem in over a decade of use with XEmacs on Solaris. But, I just wanted to mention that there is a simple fix for these X related issues if anyone has forgotten. I managed to fix it by copying the etc/Emacs.ad file that comes with XEmacs to /usr/openwin/lib/app-defaults/XEmacs and making a few edits (replacing Emacs* with XEmacs*). I guess for non-Solaris users, it would be /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XEmacs (as it alludes to in the file). This had me up and running again in a matter of minutes. The hardest part was finding Emacs.ad since I didn't recognize the suffix.

Stack overflow: Stack overflow in regexp matcher 14 years, 4 months

Adam Sjøgren

Hi. The last couple of days I have been getting this message from XEmacs: "Stack overflow: Stack overflow in regexp matcher" Usually when checking for new email in Gnus. If I just try (g) again, the message doesn't re-appear. It is rather curious. Has anyone else experienced this? I don't think I have changed my Gnus-configuration recently. Versions: XEmacs 21.5 (beta29) "garbanzo" f3eca926258e+ [Lucid] (x86_64-pc-linux, Mule) of Mon Jul 26 2010 on topper No Gnus v0.11 (f24a49038102c4566d5f8ba1ce1ff2156cff6ed5) Best regards, Adam -- "Omvejviser" Adam Sjøgren asjo(a)koldfront.dk _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta

No. "eval-when-compile" means that code can be run at compile time. In particular, x-symbol is trying to make X bitmap glyphs on a no-X build, inside an eval-when-compile (see x-symbol-vars.el). Try evaluating (canonicalize-spec-list `(((x) . [xbm :data (6 20 ,(make-string 20 0))]) ((mswindows) . [xbm :data (6 20 ,(make-string 20 0))]) ((tty) . [string :data " "])) 'image) in your 21.5 build. This (make-glyph `(((mswindows) . [bmp :data (6 20 ,(make-string 20 0))]) ((tty) . [string :data " "]))) gives me "Invalid specifier locale (mswindows)" in my Linux build. So it seems that glyph is actually tried to be instantiated, but why this doesn't work I'm not sure. My guess is that the thing to do for now is to remove the eval-when-compile from the make-glyph call in x-symbol-vars.el, although that code probably should work. The 21.4 build isn't failing in the byte compiler. The event loop is somehow broken. It's trying to get events from a file descriptor that claims to be a console (ie, a tty) but it somehow isn't. See l. 147 of src/event-tty.c. I'm not sure why this would happen. You could try putting if (!c) fprintf (stderr, "failing on FD #%d", i); before the assert on l. 147 and see which FD is causing problems. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta

Problems with 21.5 nomule Package Smoketest 14 years, 4 months

The XEmacs Package Smoketest

Hi, The nomule build for 21.5 no fails due to "Symbol's value as variable is void: mouse-yank-function" >From comments in mouse.el I understand that it is not dumped with XEmacs when no windows system is compiled in. I guess this is the case on this window system less server. So mouse-yank-function simply isn't there. How do we solve this? Why is x-symbol-nomule having these mouse related functions when x-symbol-mule doesn't? From their names you could expect them to implement the same interface. Yours -- %% Mats _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
