utf-8-fragment-on-decoding

[Guldo K]

Hello everybody.

I get this error message upon reading the init file:
Symbol's value as variable is void: utf-8-fragment-on-decoding

This is caused by unify-8859-on-decoding-mode, as I'm using this piece 
of code:

(set-language-environment "Latin-9")
(require 'ucs-tables)
(unify-8859-on-encoding-mode 1)
(unify-8859-on-decoding-mode 1)

If I comment out the last line alone, emacs starts with no errors, so 
that very last line has to be the reason why.
How can I fix it?

Thanks :)

Which version of Emacs?

Bye, Reiner.

Emacs 21.2 doesn't include `ucs-tables.el' and the functions
`unify-8859-on-decoding-mode' and `unify-8859-on-encoding-mode'.
Probably the version of `ucs-tables.el' comes from a later version of
Emacs and it doesn't fit.

The best solution would be to upgrade to Emacs 21.3.  If you don't
want to do this, you may follow the instructions in `rs-gnus-unify.el':

  http://my.gnus.org/howtos/unify
  http://theotp1.physik.uni-ulm.de/~ste/comp/emacs/gnus/rs-gnus-unify.el

Be sure to use exactly the versions of `ucs-tables.el' and `utf-8.el'
described there and to follow the install instructions.

Bye, Reiner.

Thanks for the reply.
I am trying to compile and install 21.3, since I found no debian packages.
I compiled it, but starting the ./src/emacs file it complains about termcap.
I've found info in the /etc/PROBLEMS file:

######
* Emacs does not start complaining that it cannot open termcap database 
file.

If your system uses Terminfo rather than termcap (most modern systems
do), this could happen if you have an old version of ncurses
installed, or if the newer version is not visible to the Emacs
configure script (i.e. it cannot be found along the usual path the
linker looks for libraries).

The solution is to install a newer version of ncurses, and make sure
the linker can find it.
######

I checked for ncurses, and I do have them installed.
I have all of those packages, ncurses-base, libncurses, ...
(I have no idea what Terminfo and termcap are...)

What's wrong?

Thank you.

I don't use Debian, but there should be an Emacs 21.3 out there.  If
nobody here can help you, you may ask on the Debian Emacsen mailing
list (nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.emacsen).

Bye, Reiner.

OK, I've realized I needed the developer package.
Now I'd like to make emacs use X, too.
I run:
# ./configure --with-x-toolkit=athena --with-x
but the output says:
<stuff>
checking for X... no
<stuff>
What window system should Emacs use?                    none
What toolkit should Emacs use?                          none
Where do we find X Windows header files?                NONE
Where do we find X Windows libraries?                   NONE
<stuff>

How can I fix it?

Thank you :)

Guess.  It should be easier the second time.  And if your Emacs fails
to compile support included graphics and other stuff, you can probably
figure out how to fix _that_ without asking again, then.

  --with-x-toolkit=lucid gives you more.

When you invoke './configure --help' you get some hints on 
configuration options. If this does not bring you some steps forward 
you should try to study configure's log file. There you'll probably see 
why it can't find your X11 installation (configure usually looks for C 
header files and libraries). (There is also an option to configure GNU 
Emacs with GTK  -- it looks good in GNOME then.)

Not in any released version of Emacs, i.e. <= 21.3.

Bye, Reiner.
