Hi Karen,
Eric Ludlam's ISP seems to be having problems. If you can't wait for
service to be restored, here are some alternatives in the order I recommend:
1) Install NT/Emacs 20.4.1. It includes a working version of speedbar.
2) Download JDE 2.1.5 from the JDE website. It contains a version of
speedbar that
works with 20.3.1. Simply copy that version into the Emacs lisp
directory and remove the
old speedbar.elc file. You don't need to recompile the new file. I
never bother compiling
elisp files because I've never noticed a difference in performance on my
systems.
Note: that compiling is really easy: just open the file and select
compile from the
Emacs Lisp menu.
3) Edit the 20.3.1 version of speedbar.el and remove speedbar.elc from your
path.
Regards,
Paul
