Hi there. I know this question is covered in the FAQ, and I've tried
everything I can think of to fix the problem. When I start emacs or
xemacs I get the error:
(1) (initialization/error) An error has occurred while loading ~/.emacs:
Symbol's value as variable is void: semantic
After editing my .emacs file, I got this error right away, so I read
through the faq and troubleshooting guides to see what might be going
wrong. I removed the old jde from xemacs and tried again. It still
didn't work. I then removed the old speedbar, and it still doesn't work.
I did a find / -name '*jde*' and removed anything that wasn't in
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/jde-2.2.0. I'm stumped because I'm pretty
sure that I have removed all old references of the elisp, but I still
get the error. I saw a suggestion to byte-compile everything that jde
relies on - is there a simple way to do that? What is every elist file
jde relies on? And here's the real boner question, how do I byte-complie
an elisp package?
Here's the backtrace output:
Signaling: (void-variable semantic)

...)) require semantic-util defgroup semantic "File and tag browser
frame."] 4)

Here's my system:
Debian Gnu/Linux kernel 2.2.17 with emacs 19, 20, and xemacs21.
I downloaded and installed speedbar 0.12, semantic 1.2.1, and jde 2.2.0.
And the contents of my .emacs file:
