Re: [Orgmode] canonical modifications to makefile for ubuntu feisty emacs 22.1.1?
At some point, I made a mess of things in upgrading org-mode; stupidly I sometimes modified the makefile so as to install the local lisp files to a local lisp tree ~/emacs/site-lisp (loaded by my .emacs) and sometimes so that they ended up in /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp. My bad. Brian, Having got some similar holes in my feet I install in my /home directory. In my Makefile I have: # Where local software is found prefix=~/emacs # Where local lisp files go. lispdir = $(prefix)/org In my .emacs: (setq load-path (cons ~/emacs/org load-path)) Thus any mistakes only affect my /home directory an so are more easily fixed. If you are the only user of the computer, this method works well. Ian. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode
[Orgmode] canonical modifications to makefile for ubuntu feisty emacs 22.1.1?
Hi all, In addition to being pretty new to org-mode, I'm also an emacs novice. I am running ubuntu feisty with emacs 22.1.1 from the feisty backports repository. At some point, I made a mess of things in upgrading org-mode; stupidly I sometimes modified the makefile so as to install the local lisp files to a local lisp tree ~/emacs/site-lisp (loaded by my .emacs) and sometimes so that they ended up in /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp. My bad. This just bit me as I installed 5.08 and ended up running 5.07a despite that until I worked things out. Bandage applied to foot, all seems fine for now. But, I'd like not to shoot myself again. As yet, I've been modifying the makefile on the basis of hope, rather than knowledge. Could someone with a similar OS/emacs combo please suggest what's the right thing to do? Thanks and best, Brian vdB ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode

I summarize them here for future googlers :-) Both replies suggested that ~/emacs/site-lisp was probably the right thing. (You can ensure that works by including a line like (add-to-list 'load-path /home/brian/emacs/site-lisp) early in your .emacs.) The really helpful bit was reminding me that I ought to run the make dance as me, rather than by sudo'ing. This will ensure that the process will only work if I am indeed installing into my local directory.
