Problems with emacs 26.1

Problems with emacs 26.1

Dear List Members,

I am a new member to this list with the following problem.

I wanted to install Gnu-Emacs 26.1 on Linux Mint (kernel 4.15) running on Macbook Pro. I downloaded from tug site and the process for install ran smoothly, with config stage being provided no gnutls support. I had to choose this option since I could not figure out the necessary libraries required for this support.

After the successfull install, when I started running the newly installed version it failed to recognise:

  1.  e2wm
  2.  tabbar
  3.  yatex
  4.  setq-tex command

from the previous version of .emacs which was there.  Although pdflatex is my preferred LaTeX compilation mode, it would use latex instead.

Here is a copy of the .emacs file:

****************.emacs file***********************
;;;;;;;;;;; Emac init file: Partha Pratim Ghosh ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

;; Added by Package.el.  This must come before configurations of
;; installed packages.  Don't delete this line.  If you don't want it,
;; just comment it out by adding a semicolon to the start of the line.
;; You may delete these explanatory comments.
(package-initialize)

;; load emacs 24's package system. Add MELPA repository.
(when (>= emacs-major-version 24)
  (require 'package)
  (add-to-list

   '("melpa" . "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/")
   t))

;;; for the e2wm window manager

(require 'e2wm)
(global-set-key (kbd "M-+") 'e2wm:start-management)

(custom-set-variables

(custom-set-faces

(desktop-save-mode 1)

;;; check spelling on the fly
(setq ispell-program-nam "aspell")
(setq ispell-dictionary "british")

;;; for the YaTeX mode
(setq auto-mode-alist
      (cons (cons "\\.tex$" 'yatex-mode) auto-mode-alist))

(autoload 'yatex-mode "yatex" "Yet Another LaTeX mode" t)

(add-hook 'yatex-mode-hook 'flyspell-mode)
(add-hook 'yatex-mode-hook 'flyspell-buffer)

(setq tex-command "/usr/local/texlive/2018/bin/x86_64-linux/pdflatex")

(setq dvi2-command "xreader")

;;(message "%s" (font-family-list))

***********end of .emacs file******************************

I would be thankful if I could be helped out of this situation.

With all the very best wishes and regards,

partha

Any particular reasons to install it using tar, instead of using the
package which is in the repositories?

That will install Emacs the recommended way with necessary libs.
