I think the problem is a bad interaction between your language
environment and the file in question.
Does the following command load vline.el successfully?
emacs -Q --eval '(let ((coding-system-for-read (quote utf-8)))
(load-file "path/to/vline.el"))'
?
For me, the above works regardless of my LANG environment
variable however:
LANG=en_US emacs -Q --eval '(load-file "path/to/vline.el")'
Loading /Home/s0198183/tmp/vline.el (source)...
Invalid read syntax: "?"
In this case, emacs uses the iso-latin-1 coding-system to open
the file and barfs when trying to read the utf-8 character in it.
Cheers,
Lawrence
