This is a followup to a previous report on this problem. I never got
any response so I'm not sure if it ever got sent. I'll paste this one
into my normal mail program to be sure.
Basically, dired in xemacs on Mac OS X 10.5 fails to load most
directories. The error
message is "no file on this line".
The cause appears to be a new output format for ls in Mac OS X 10.5
"Leopard". Here's a sample:
drwx------@ 3 poirier staff 102 Dec 7 06:21 .cups
drwxr-xr-x 3 poirier staff 102 Nov 30 16:19 .eclipse
-rw-r--r-- 1 poirier staff 110 Dec 12 19:02 .eclipse_keyring
lrwxr-xr-x 1 poirier staff 25 Dec 1 08:03 .unison -> /Users/
poirier/svn/unison
drwx------+ 7 poirier staff 238 Dec 24 12:40 Desktop
Note that many lines have an additional character stuck on the end of
the permissions. Setting dired-ls-program to point to a little shell
script that ran the output of ls through "cut -c 1-10,12-" fixed it,
which I think confirms the cause.
One way to fix dired was to change the constant value 17 to 18 at two
places around line 2786 of dired.el. (This is in
dired-manual-move-to-filename).
Unfortunately I don't know if that change would break dired on other
systems. I suspect that it would.
Please let me know if I can provide additional information to help
diagnose this, or test possible fixes.
