unable to create a .cpp file

unable to create a .cpp file

[Gary Wessle]

Hi

ctl-xf which does find/create a file then I type test.cpp then I get this in
the echo area
****************************************************************
File is opened with an external viewer. See buffer *extview log* for status messages.
****************************************************************

in *extview log* I have
****************************************************************
Opening file ~/test.cpp with handler: more '%s'
/home/fred/test.cpp: No such file or directory

Process extview-process finished
****************************************************************

C-h v extview-application-associations

If that doesn't yield anything interesting, check the files listed
in the mailcap-parse-mimetypes function for a ".cpp" entry:

$MAILCAPS (environment variable)

~/.mailcap	}
~/mail.cap	} on DOS/Windows
~/etc/mail.cap	}

~/.mailcap		}
/etc/mailcap		} normal systems
/usr/etc/mailcap	}
/usr/local/etc/mailcap	}

this might help
I can find/open my.cpp if I 
$gksu emacs my.cpp 
type in the root password

it then opens and in the mode it says
-1:-- my.cpp  (C++ Abbrev)--L1--All--

I deleted every thing in .emacs reloaded the file and the problem is
still there.  
it is only when I delete .emacs from my home dir that the problem does
not duplicate.

Well, the presumably broken lisp definitions from the .emcas file then
still persist in the computer memory, they aren't overwritten.

Without ~/.emacs it works?  Why don't you show your complete .emacs
file, maybe somebody sees immediately what's wrong with it (and has
the time to help)?

By the way, it would probably be best starting .emacs from scratch and
using for that purpose the Emacs customisation facility.  Have a look
under the Options menu -> Customize Emacs.

it is only when I comment this section below that the problem does not duplicate, but then I loose the functionality it provides.

What does `C-h v extview-application-associations' tell you?

That is not a good way to diagnose whether the problem is due to a
local customization or not.  Try invoking Emacs as
	emacs -q --no-site-file

If the problem goes away, it was due to a local customization 
(site-start.el, ~/.emacs, or default.el).  Then try invoking Emacs as
	emacs -q

If the problem returns, it is due to site-start.el; if there is still
no problem, it was due to either ~/.emacs or default.el.

You can find the site-start.el and default.el files with `M-x 
locate-library' (leave off the .el extension when responding to
the "Locate library: " prompt).

ok, the fix:
I commented out the section

===================================
;; ;; opens a a file 'pdf' with xpdf and so on...
;; (require 'extview)
;; (push '("\\.pdf$" . "xpdf %s") extview-application-associations)
;; (push '("\\.py$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
===================================
restarted emacs and I am now cpp compliant. no clue as to how to fix
the problem so that I can have the functionality provided by the
section above.
