Subject: Device 0 is not a termcap terminal device
Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2008 19:55:13 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <op.uhzyqb1jd84skq@fiore.malebolge> (raw)

Hi,

I am very glad we recently got the --daemon option.  I am having a little  
trouble with it, though.  When starting
	$ emacs --daemon
and then attaching an emacsclient with
	$ emacsclient -t <file>
I get the following message:


An error has occurred while loading `/home/csant/.emacs':

error: Device 0 is not a termcap terminal device

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file.  Start Emacs with
the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error backtrace.


When I however start emacs with said flag, everything goes smooth.  Also,  
when starting emacs in non-daemon mode, I get no messages.  I am puzzled,  
and wondering what other ways there are for me to see what actually goes  
wrong in the init, short of just dumping my whole ~/.emacs here…

Suggestions appreciated.

/c
