It led to find out about ELPA. While I was at it I also modularized my emacs init file. That all worked out nicely, although it seems gnus init file is no longer auto-line wrapping. But the bottom line is that I used ELPA to install flycheck. It seems to have succeeded at least to the extent it shows up as a minor mode when I display a file. How to use it I have yet to look into because it does not produce the dramatic colored highlight of flymake (I see there is an ELPA package to colorize, and I may try that). I am worried a bit ELPA's compilation of the package. There was an error that it was unable to activate package "f". The required package "s-1.7.0" is unavailable. When I look at s.el, I find : s-buffer is an installed package. Status: Installed in `/home/haines/.emacs.d/elpa/s-buffer-20130605.1424/'. Version: 20130605.1424 Requires: s-1.6.0, noflet-0.0.3 Summary: s operations for buffers I see that flycheck is no longer displayed in ELPA's package list. I wonder if this is because it is installed? The error makes me also wonder if the flycheck that I managed to compile and install is fully functional, although off hand it seems to be working. Haines
