Hi Kevin, I also get sometimes the problem with "cl" library but it is never a critical error that stops me from using Rmd.
I think the main question is, what is in your emacs configuration file? Probably the problem comes from there. For example, for R markdown I have simply the following lines, maybe you can try them and see if the error persist. ;; R markdown (use-package polymode) (use-package poly-R) (use-package poly-markdown) ;; MARKDOWN (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.md" . poly-markdown-mode)) ;; R modes (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.Snw" . poly-noweb+r-mode)) (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.Rnw" . poly-noweb+r-mode)) (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.Rmd" . poly-markdown+r-mode)) ; I just noticed, this is just in case you have installed use-package. If not, change the first 3 lines for something like (require 'polymode) (require 'poly-R) (require 'poly-markdown) Although probably require could also give you trouble, in which case simply remove the 3 lines. The most important are the following lines that are telling emacs to recognize *.Rmd files as markdown. If you already have this lines then it would be helpful to see your whole config file because maybe something there is conflicting with markdown or with r markdown.
