This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component. I asked the upstream what can be wrong with your .emacs file http://emacs.1067599.n5.nabble.com/bug-14483-Problem-with-loading-emacs-file-td287047.html and could you please add (setq debug-on-quit t) so that we can analyze it? By the way you are using Xemacs? What do you have in your .emacs-config/lisp directory? sorry, I forgot about this bug and do not see it anymore with recent emacs-24.3-9.2.fc18x.x86_64 |
Created attachment 588882 [details] reduced ~/.emacs file Description of problem: emacs 24 fails with obscure errors to parse a previously working ~/.emacs. When shifting around/disabling code, the startup stucks. Things worked fine with emacs 23 from F16. Details: The | Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading `/home/ensc/.emacs': | File error: Cannot open load file, gpl error can be avoided by removing/shifting the first line of the file -- this is a comment (!) with an emacs mode string. But then, startup stucks in an infinite loop (?). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): emacs-24.0.95-1.fc17.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. emacs -q 2. M-x load-file ~/.emacs
