So lets restart from beginning: I rebuilded emacs starting at b064ddd3f60 and trying to copy a file with dired-async, it fails with error in process buffer "*emacs*" with: emacs: /usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50/../native-lisp/28.0.50-2f134e58/preloaded/window-0d1b8b93-581f9fcd.eln: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Then I do the symlink (here from /usr/local/sbin/ directory): sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/emacs/28.0.50/native-lisp/ . And now I can copy a file from dired-async with no error even without restarting emacs. If you want to reproduce you can bypass dired-async and use something like this much simpler which avoid possible errors from something else and need no configuration: (async-start (lambda () (copy-file "~/.emacs.d/init.el" "~/tmp/"))) you should have now a buffer "*emacs*" with same contents as above. then make the symlink as described above and run the same snippet, you should see your init file copied. Hope that helps. -- Thierry
