I'm using GNU Emacs 22.0.91.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2006-12-05 on W2ONE
(patched)

 

I'm new to EmacsW32 with prior limited knowledge of GNU Emacs 21.3.  I
downloaded the latest patched EmacsW32 (5 Dec 06) and installed it.  I then
tried to run the Emacs link that is created by the installer and I get the
following error message:

"EmacsCleint ERROR: The requested Emacs remote server is not running"

 

I am not familiar with the Emacs Client / Server interface, but was also not
asked to configure anything specific during the installation.  I have
managed to get Emacs to work using the "addpm.exe" binary that is found in
the Bin folder.  However, I would like to know how to get the Client/Server
to work as I can see the benefit.  The EmacsW32 web page says:

Emacsclient is patched so that it can start Emacs and emacs server
automatically when needed. (This behaviour was before offered by gnuclient.
If you are using the unpatched version you can use version 1.08 of EmacW32
to get this functionality back.) (Added 2006-11-21)

 

...but it seems that with a standard installation the emacsclient does not
manage to start the server.  Where can I find more information on what could
be causing this problem on my machine?  None of the get started pages
address this issue.

 

Regards,
