[Factor-talk] ErgoEmacs init file not loading
Hi Jim. I'm trying to use ErgoEmacs, but I cannot get it working either on Windows 7 64-bit. The contents of my .emacs file: (load-file F:\media\repositories\factor\misc\fuel\fu.el) (setq fuel-listener-factor-binary F:\media\repositories\factor (setq fuel-listener-factor-image F:\media\repositories\factor (set-background-color cornsilk) These lines are gleaned from the readme file that comes with the FUEL vocab. The contents don't matter now because the file is not being loaded by Emacs or ErgoEmacs. I saved the .emacs file in the ErgoEmacs install directory, in the bin subdirectory, in .emacs.d and in .emac.s/server. The .emacs.d directory is the only non-installation directory the installer creates. When ErgoEmacs launches for the first time, the status bar says The directory '~/.emacs.d/server is unsafe. 1. If the environment variable HOME is set, use the directory it indicates. 2. If the registry entry HKCU\SOFTWARE\GNU\Emacs\HOME is set, use the directory it indicates. 3. If the registry entry HKLM\SOFTWARE\GNU\Emacs\HOME is set, use the directory it indicates. Not recommended, as it results in users sharing the same HOME directory. 4. If C:\.emacs exists, then use C:/. This is for backward compatibility, as previous versions defaulted to C:/ if HOME was not set. 5. Use the user's AppData directory, usually a directory called Application Data under the user's profile directory, the location of which varies according to Windows version and whether the computer is part of a domain. This bit above seems thorough, but does not help with Emacs or ErgoEmacs. Where did you place your .emacs file. Did you need to create a HOME environment variable?

Re: [Factor-talk] ErgoEmacs init file not loading
I just set the HOME variable to be the ErgoEmacs install directory, and rebooted. Still the .emacs init file there is not being loading on launch. The precedence described in 1 to 5 below seems to imply that this is not necessary, anyway, that the user directory location will ultimately be a correct default location for .emacs, if the other fails, but that does not seem to be correct either. Also, during neither install were the registry entries mentioned in 2 and 3 created.

Re: [Factor-talk] ErgoEmacs init file not loading
Shaping, I don't remember the order I did these things in, but here are some artifacts I can find. User variable HOME set to c:\emacs System variable HOME set to C:\documents and settings\jmack nothing in registry at HKCU\SOFTWARE\GNU\ .emacs file at c:\emacs. Make sure not to use a windows editor on it, unless it has settings for unix cr stripping. c:\emacs .emacs.d init.txt emacs-23.1 INSTALL bin\runemacs.exe C:\emacs\emacs-23.1\bin\runemacs.exe is where it built itself to using make. INSTALL contains the instructions I followed: 1. Make sure your system has at least 120 MB of free disk space. 2a. `cd' to the directory where you unpacked Emacs and invoke the `configure' script: ./configure 5. Invoke the `make' program: make 6. If `make' succeeds, it will build an executable program `emacs' in the `src' directory. You can try this program, to make sure it works: src/emacs -q 7. Assuming that the program `src/emacs' starts and displays its opening screen, you can install the program and its auxiliary files into their installation directories: make install As a complete newbie, I did everything exactly as specified, and made no assumptions. I had previously had ruby running on this xp 32 box, had installed git. Has emacs ever been able to start, or is this a case where emacs starts but integration through fuel to factor is the issue? C:\Program Files\ErgoEmacs\ergoEmacs.exe also runs for me, does not contain any .emacs files itself. It may be that my going with a seeming convention of c:\emacs as the base for the gnu emacs was what helps the defaults keep together?
