When I use dtemacs to open a file (say /tmp/em) I also get: Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading `/home/js/.emacs': as well as an additional Symbol's function definition is void: temp-directory and the main window does not contain /tmp/em. With other scripts from the wiki I can open emacs but gnuclient is complaining: 23276 pts/6 R 0:00 /usr/bin/emacs a gnuclient: Connection refused gnuclient: unable to connect to local and it then runs a new emacs process. I have removed gnuserv from my system now. I could not get it to work as expected.
