Instead of noise I think this is valuable information... ... if we had "troubleshooting" (or just put to emacstips.mdwn) page we could add something along the line: emacs -Q -L /path/to/notmuch/elisp/dir --eval "(require 'notmuch)" (with some explanation) there (e.g. M-x notmuch-hello & M-x notmuch-mua-mail) (emacs manpage says -L 'add's this dir to load-path -- I verified it "prepends"! it to load-path (like add-to-list does by default)) > > atb > > Glyn Tomi
