Hi all,
I installed the package xemacs to use with ess and R on my
tiger-upgraded powerbook today. And it wouldn't work with my old
init.el because initialization hung with "Cannot open load file:
pending-del".
It seems that there are some required xemacs packages that aren't
installed with the fink xemacs package. It took a while, but I
eventually found out that pending-del is part of the xemacs pc package.
After some time I found an xemacs ftp site that would work and after
installing the pc package, and a resart, surprise: there was a new
package that was required but not included.
I don't recall having any of these problems on my FreeBSD system. Could
fink xemacs not be configured so that the xemacs packages required by
the fink xemacs come along with the base install? Eventually I just
installed ess and asked xemacs to install the raft of dependent xemacs
packages, and this worked. But the shotgun approach seems silly.
Searching google and the fink archives didn't reveal anything.
Cheers,
...Robert
