RE: opening file in unix emacs

[Leip, Eric]

Hello-

My system admin wanted me to ask you if you knew why we were getting this warning when we start emacs up:

Warning: Lisp directory `/usr/local/share/emacs/21.2/leim' does not exist.

I have read online that it seems to be some sort of language file that maybe we don't even need?

Thanks

emacs-run is the binary file.

You  invoke  a  shell   script  that  sets  the  envirnoment  variabie
SHLIB_PATH so that Emacs can load some shared libraries.

The solution could be use this shell script

SHLIB_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pa1.1:/usr/local/lib/pa1.1/X11 \
/usr/local/bin/emacs-run $@

(I split the  line at \ for readability sake)  a "trick" commonly used
under Mac OS X to launch the Emacs.app from the command line.

You can  put this script in your  bin (provided that you  put your bin
before /usr/local/bin) or ask your sysadmin to patch the script.

I think that  most users at your site just launch  emacs and then keep
it running all the session long,  you can still use emacsclient to use
the running emacs as an  "editing server" (requires loading the server
lib).

Right! For English and Latin scripts you wouldn't need it. Even 
accented characters for most European and American languages are no 
problem since they don't need LEIM.

Put this in your .emacs:

(server-start)

Then you never need to quit the program.  From then on, if you want to edit a
file, just make an alias for emacsclient:

alias e emacsclient

At the UNIX prompt:

% e <filename>

And your file should be waiting for your edits back at EMACS Home-Base.

Try the commands:

    which emacs 

or

    type emacs 

to discover what program you invoke. Then ckeck what this program is.
It could be a script...

That last bit should be "$@" (with quotes).  Otherwise, it will fail
when invoked with arguments containing spaces.  (There used to be some
systems whose shells required the bizarre syntax ${1+"$@"} or
something equally weird, but I think those have been buried by now.)

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 666 bytes --]

Hello-

I don't know if this is the correct procedure but I was wondering if I could get help with emacs.  

I have been using emacs on unix for about 10 years and I always easily opened a file by typing "emacs FILENAME".  At my new job, this only opens the emacs editor and doesn't open FILENAME.  I have tried "emacs -nw FILENAME" and that also just opens an emacs session, not that specific file.  I have checked my .BASHRC file and there are no aliases for emacs.  Any suggestions or is there someone else I could contact?

Thanks
