i think that's just how emacs produces the Backtrace buffer. (i've
always found that odd.)
cheers, Greg

Re: [ESS] emacs-ess and the dreaded dotemacs file
Hi Mark,
I hope you are well.
As Tyler points out the attachment didn't make it.
However, I do see this bit:
Reading at buffer position 432
load-with-code-conversion("/home/markleeds/.emacs "/home/markleeds/.emacs" t t)
load("~/.emacs" t t)
If the latter two lines appear literally in a file you are trying to load, then
you have fallen into the trap of using R like syntax where lisp is needed. (I
do know emacs-lisp and do this myself more than I want to admit.)
So move the open parens BEFORE the function names, viz.
(load-with-code-conversion "/home/markleeds/.emacs
"/home/markleeds/.emacs" t t )
(load "~/.emacs" t t)
HTH,
Chuck

Re: [ESS] emacs-ess and the dreaded dotemacs file
I didn't receive your attachment, I think the mailing list drops them?
The error you're getting indicates you have unbalanced parentheses (too many
closing parentheses). That's an easy thing to do when copying and pasting code,
and may be a side effect of some other issue.
Best,
Tyler

[ESS] emacs-ess and the dreaded dotemacs file
Hi All: Would anyone mind doing me a big favor and fixing any ( even one is
great ) problems in my current dotemacs file. I was able to get some of it
to run but when it hits the auto-complete section, I start having all kinds
of problems. For most of it, ( from the auto-complete section and on ), I
just copied the dotemacs file used at the link below ( the www.code.rd.com
link ) . But things either changed dramatically since that link was created
or the author is maybe not showing the whole file ?
I'm lisp illiterate which obviously doesn't help. I use ubuntu but I doubt
that matters.
This all sounded like a good idea when I started it but now its been
three days and I'm still not terribly far. Thanks to Rich Heiberger who was
influential in getting the top part to work before it hits the
auto-complete section. The dotemacsfile is
attached. Note that the code in the dotemacsfile with all the semi-colons
is the code from the link here. I don't see any typos but I could be
mistaken. Or
maybe the link itself has typos ? Thanks so much for help in any way.
