Calling emacs from /usr/local/sbin works, however when I symlink /usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50/emacs-28.0.50 to /usr/local/bin I have the same error: make[1] : on quitte le répertoire « /home/thierry/tmp/emacs/lib-src » find native-lisp -type d -exec /bin/mkdir -p "/usr/local/lib/emacs/28.0.50/{}" \; ; \ find native-lisp -type f -exec /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 "{}" "/usr/local/lib/emacs/28.0.50/{}" \; thierry@IPadS340:~/tmp/emacs$ cd thierry@IPadS340:~$ cd /usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50/ thierry@IPadS340:/usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50$ ls ctags ebrowse emacs emacs-28.0.50 emacsclient etags thierry@IPadS340:/usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50$ ./emacs thierry@IPadS340:/usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50$ sudo eselect-emacs Versions availables: 1) emacs-27.1 2) emacs-26.3 3) emacs-28.0.50 Current version is emacs-27.2 Choose a new version: 3 Deleting Symlink /usr/local/bin/emacsclient Deleting Symlink /usr/local/bin/ctags Deleting Symlink /usr/local/bin/etags Deleting Symlink /usr/local/bin/ebrowse Deleting Symlink /usr/local/bin/emacs Symlinking /usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50/emacsclient to /usr/local/bin/emacsclient Symlinking /usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50/ctags to /usr/local/bin/ctags Symlinking /usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50/etags to /usr/local/bin/etags Symlinking /usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50/ebrowse to /usr/local/bin/ebrowse Symlinking /usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50/emacs-28.0.50 to /usr/local/bin/emacs Deleting symlink/usr/local/share/info Symlinking /usr/local/share/info-28.0.50 to /usr/local/share/info emacs-28.0.50 installed thierry@IPadS340:/usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50$ cdl thierry@IPadS340:/usr/local/sbin$ cdl thierry@IPadS340:/usr/local$ cd bin thierry@IPadS340:/usr/local/bin$ ls apt ctags ebrowse emacs emacsclient emacseditor eselect-emacs etags gnome-help helm highlight-mint mint-sha256sum mu piactl search xournal yelp thierry@IPadS340:/usr/local/bin$ ./emacs emacs: /usr/local/bin/../native-lisp/28.0.50-2f134e58/preloaded/window-0d1b8b93-513ac8ca.eln: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory thierry@IPadS340:/usr/local/bin$ emacs emacs: /usr/local/bin/../native-lisp/28.0.50-2f134e58/preloaded/window-0d1b8b93-513ac8ca.eln: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory So for now what is working best for me is symlinking native-lisp directory to /usr/local/sbin. > > reading Eli's opinion we may change it tho. > >>> Sorry for not responding earlier, I've been in round robin on the issues >>> I had the feeling were higher priority but was still in my todo list :) >> >> No problems, congrats for the huge work. > > Thanks > > Andrea -- Thierry
