If yes, because your EDITOR is bind to emacsclient -t, it try to open an emacsclient inside the emacs terminal (eshell or something else) and it fail because terminal is not powerful enough to run emacs. If so, use as EDITOR:(make a script maybe) emacsclient -a "" "$@" or emacsclient -a "emacs -Q" "$@" Be sure also you have an emacs server running. -- Thierry Volpiatto Gpg key: http://pgp.mit.edu/
