Hi,
I have been trying to load a custom .el file in emacs to add some personal
functionalities when I run emacs.
The file is called mesa-minor-mode.el and is attach here for
completeness. I have saved it in my ~/emacslisp/ and after a few
unsuccesful attempts to get it working I also saved it in ~/.emacs.d/
just to be sure emacs was not being sensitive to where the file was.
I run emacs version: GNU 21.4.1 x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu.
From various online help and colleagues I have ended up trying (without
luck) lots of permutations in my .emacs of the suggestions I received.
These incl (after each permutation I include here the error message when
starting emacs):

I also tried to replace tilde in the above attempts with the full path but
still no luck. Also replacing emacslisp with .emacs.d, as well as incl
and removing '/' at the end of paths was tested.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Dennis,
The file you attached is an HTML file, not an emacs lisp file.
I bet if you find the true .el file that you're looking for, things will go much more easily. A more-circuitous-than-I'd-have-liked search led me to this URL: https://raw.github.com/jschwab/mesa-minor-mode/master/mesa-minor-mode.el.
I make no guarantees, but it satisfies all of your requirements that a layperson could understand.
I hope this helps.
,Douglas

Hi Dennis,
seems something went wrong fundamentally.
A file-format with ending "el." for Emacs Lisp is not a XML-File as attached.
Your XML-attachement points at the net, at github.
The minor mode you are looking for seems to exist at
https://github.com/jschwab/mesa-minor-mode/blob/master/mesa-minor-mode.el
Remains to download it at your machine and write into you .emacs for example something like
(load "MY_LOCAL_PATH_/mesa-minor-mode.el")
Certainly it should be possible to fetch code from the net on the fly if needed.
HTH,
Andreas

Thanks a lot for that...works!
My browwer tricked me in believing that when I chose Save Link As... and
it suggested mesa-minor-mode.el as file name that this actually was the file
and not some html associated w the link.
