 Posted: Wed Nov 28, 2007 10:36 pm Post subject: Emacs script |
 |
|
Hello!
I'm trying out Emacs. I have a problem with a script I'm trying to use. The script is found here: http://groups.google.com/group/gnu.emacs.sources/browse_thread/thread/2d5e8e101df6e502?hl=en
I have added it to a folder and can use it with M-x light-symbol-mode. But what should I add to ~/.emacs so that it will be turned on automatically each time I start Emacs?
Also. I get this error every time I start Emacs even though the script works:
| Code: | An error has occurred while loading `/home/bravo/.emacs':
error: Required feature `light-symbol' was not provided
To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file. Start Emacs with
the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error backtrace. |
Thanks! |

I presume this folder is within the list owned by your load-path variable?

(load file /path/to/file/goes/here)
(light-symbol-mode)
It is beyond the scope of my elisp-fu, but I think that research on (require '[something]) and (provide '[something]) as well as the autoload magic might help show the bigger picture.

Do the --debug-init thing, or, alternately, brows your *Messages* buffer for good justice.
Go, emacs. It is the way of life.
