(I will look into c= l > library as I don't know what that is!). The information I gave you were guesses abouit what goes wrong. Someone who actually uses Emacs chess will perhaps know more accurate what to do. However what I guess from the information you gave is that you have not installed Emacs chess as it should be installed. Maybe there is some installation instructions that comes with it? Often those instructions are a bit harder to follow on MS Windows since many of those who have been writing things for Emacs are using GNU/Linux instead and they do not know how to do the same things on MS Windows. However let me guess a bit more. You could try doing M-: (require 'cl) and then try Emacs chess again. (Normallly you should not do the above, but it seems the easiest thing to try for you now. > {My =C2=A0error message >> >> Loading c:/Users/Dad/chess/chess.el (source)...done >> chess-ply-create*: Symbol's function definition is void: assert >> >> Any idea how to fix this?

"assert" is a function that is defined in a part of Emacs, the cl library, that you normally do not see when you run Emacs. That is because the library is used when byte compiling Emacs lisp libraries files. When a file named for example foo.el (Emacs lisp files has that extension) it is transformed into a foo.elc where the addeed "c" means compiled. Emacs can use both .el files and .elc files but uses the latter if it is available. If there are instructions for installation I guess those installation tells how to byte compile Emacs chess. > Thanks & best wishes > -- > View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Emacs-%28%2BEmacsWin3= 2%29-with-chess.el-help-%28board-images-display%29-tp24539681p24586574.html > Sent from the Emacs - Help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
