Maybe. I've never seen MELPA writing in my /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp directory. How do you do that? > I'd really like to get this working. A thing you could try is to uninstall geiser completely from MELPA, getting a git clone and then follow the instructions here: http://geiser.nongnu.org/geiser_2.html#From-the-source_0027s-mouth (it's really simple if you have git at hand).
