Try "emacs -q file" and "rpm -Vf /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.el" - I'm
 99.9% sure this is a local problem.

Comment 2 Ross Primrose 2001-08-17 17:08:15 UTC
"emacs -q file" and "rpm -Vf /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.el"

had no effect.  This machine is the only one I've got 7.1 running on, it's a
Dell PowerEdge 350 with 7.1 pre-installed.  Same problem with emacs-nox.  The
error message appears in the status line when emacs starts.

Comment 3 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2001-08-17 19:05:24 UTC
The "rpm -Vf " command gave no output? Also, what does "rpm -qi emacs" return?
And does "emacs -q --no-site-file <filename>" work?


Comment 4 Ross Primrose 2001-08-17 19:27:54 UTC
rpm -Vf did indeed give no output.

emacs -q --no-site-file does work.

rpm -qi emacs gave:

rpm -qi emacs

Summary     : The libraries needed to run the GNU Emacs text editor.
Description :
Emacs is a powerful, customizable, self-documenting, modeless text
editor. Emacs contains special code editing features, a scripting
language (elisp), and the capability to read mail, news and more
without leaving the editor.

This package includes the libraries you need to run the Emacs editor,
so you need to install this package if you intend to use Emacs.  You
also need to install the actual Emacs program package (emacs-nox or
emacs-X11).  Install emacs-nox if you are not going to use the X
Window System; install emacs-X11 if you will be using X.

"product" is part of semi, but nothing in emacs should try to load it... which
file tries to load product? ("grep -r product /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/*"
should give a hint) Which rpm is that file part of?

Comment 6 Ross Primrose 2001-08-17 19:56:07 UTC
If for output from grep I'm looking for lines like
"/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/ddskk/skk-abbrev.el:(require 'product)", There's 24
different .el files, all in /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/ddskk/ that come up with
a (require 'product').

It's ddskk problem?


Comment 8 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2001-08-21 03:07:10 UTC
Seems to be a problem with half of the Japanese packages being installed, the
other one not. Why, I have no idea, but it's not an Emacs issue.

Ynakai: Can you check that the current set of Japanese lisp packages have
correct dependencies?

Comment 9 Jens Petersen 2002-03-11 07:47:09 UTC
ddskk has been requiring apel for a while.
