open new file on mac os

open new file on mac os

[Per Jr. Greisen]

Hi all,

My problems is that I cannot create a new file using emacs from the command
line and I think it is a linking problem. If I type 
emacs newfile

it returns
The / file does not exist.

I am using the emacs in the application folder
open -a Emacs.app 
if I on the other hand uses the emacs in /usr/bin/emacs I do not have any
problems creating a new file but here I do not have any GUI available.

How to resolve this - thanks in advance

Best

Per

Could you type on the command line

	which emacs

to see which emacs you are actually using?

Emacs.app does not provide an "emacs" but an "Emacs." And this one  
does not launch by using the open command to launch it.

Hi,

When I type 'which emacs' it returns 

usr/bin/emacs

You could still launch the Emacs.app from the terminal:

/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs newfile
(edit the path appropriately).

Which is Apple's Emacs and which only runs in terminal emulations. It  
also has a different version than Emacs.app.

This is OK – it's just a *warning* and it means that it won't deliver  
services as Emacs.app can do when launched ordinarily by double- 
clicking it or using open or launch to start it. You should have get  
an open frame which full access to Emacs...
