I have an .emacs file that only contains:

(if(string-match "^app"(getenv "HOSTNAME"))
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'flyspell-mode))

But when I start emacs I get the error:

"Wrong type argument: stringp, nil"

If I comment out the above two lines I get no error.

Any ideas?

The part

(getenv "HOSTNAME")

seems to return nil.  You can check this by evaluating this part.  I
recommend you to refine your code to handle that nil-case.

Possibly it suffices for your case to set the environment-variable
HOSTNAME to the right value.


Best wishes
