If you use bash as shell, add the following lines to your ~/.profile

You can easily verify the value of an environment variable using
echo $XEDITOR
or
printenv XEDITOR

That is what I had been tring for two days with no luck (I couldn't get the XEDITOR variable showing). Today, the variable works (don't know why), but point to click still doesn't.


I can see variable XEDITOR=emacsclient --no-wait +%l %f, but Xdvi still fails with 'No editor found - using built-in default (vi)'

I am using : Xdvi version 22.40, Emacs 21.2.1.

Trying to understand, there is three modifications:
- inserting a line in .ly file: seems to works, as left ctl+click triggers the error
- setting XEDITOR. Seems to work to. At least, I can see the variable in a shell
- adding (server-start) to .emacs. If I insert a line in error in .emacs (in order to see progress messages), I see:
[snip]
Loading 00debian-vars...done
Loading 50Lilypond (source)...done
Loading server...done
[ error message]


Is there any documentation to read about interaction between editor, latex dvi, etc...? Any idea?

Thank you

Hi all,
Sorry if this is rather a Debian or emacs question, but Lilypond users certaily solved this problem before.
I am new to Lilypond (and Debian distibution) , and would like to have the point and clik working.
Xdvi complains with 'No editor found - using built-in default (vi)'. I think XEDITOR is not seen par Xdvi.
Can somebody tell me where to put the 'XEDITOR=...' line ? I tried in ~/.profile, in /etc/profile (which is documented as system wide), and in even in some bashrc related files. None works.


Regards
Roland
