jde wrong type argument

jde wrong type argument

[Christian Schneiker]

hello all,

I'm an emacs newbie and I want to run the jde for emacs.
When I want to start jde-mode I get this error:
Wrong type argument: keymapp, nil

oh..I'm running gentoo with emacs-21.3.50 and jde-2.3.3
on my laptop it runs perfectly with same .emacs conf-file.

thanks for help

Please M-x toggle-debug-on-error RET, then provoke the error again.
You should get a backtrace.  If it contains gibberish (aka,
byte-code), then look below the gibberish for the function that is
invoked, say foo.  Then do C-h f foo RET to see which file the
function comes from (say bar).  Then do M-x load-library RET bar.el
RET (the .el bit is important).  Then provoke the error again.  Now
you should get a backtrace with less, or at least different,
gibberish.  Lather, rinse, repeat.

Post the backtrace.

Thanks,
Kai

It gives me now;
Symbols function definition is void: jde-find-project-file

If you get one error message now, and a completely different one
later, then this means that something really strange is going on.

jde-find-project-file is defined in jde-project-file.el or
jde-project-file.elc -- do you have one of these two files?  Does it
help to M-x load-library RET jde-project-file RET?

Type C-h v load-path RET and go through the list of directories it
shows.  Does the list contain the directories where
jde-project-file.el or jde-project-file.elc is?

hello again,
it seems to be only a problem with emacs-cvs-21.3.50. I've emerged
emacs-21.3-r3 from the gentoo portage and now it works fine...

Thanks at all,
Christian
