How do I disable the function that gives me a "<packet> is undefined" error message?

How do I disable the function that gives me a "<packet> is undefined" error message?

[Jay_B]

Hi,

I am using MS Windows XP SP3 and would like to switch over to GNU Emacs
23.1.1 from its predecessor -- but I have encountered a problem and hope you
can help me.

I have changed my keyboard layout to an ergonomic German version with
support for a compose-key  (http://www.neo-layout.org/ , if you're
interested) using the AHK scripting language (http://www.autohotkey.com/) .
With Emacs 22.3 there was no problem, but with 23.1 I get the error message:
"<packet> is undefined"
whenever I try to compose a special character.

So whatever AHK is doing in the background seems to trigger some emacs macro
that tries to load some package (as you can see, my technical background
knowledge leaves *a lot* to be desired, sorry!).

All I want is to disable this macro/emacs function so that I can enter my
special characters in my XeLaTeX documents again. Can anybody give me any
hint?

Thank you!

Jay

Maybe you too need

	(load-library "iso-transl")

Thanks for the idea, but I am afraid it doesn't work -- I still get the
"<packet> is undefined" error message in the mini buffer :-(

You could try to type (for example in *scratch* buffer) C-q <some  
composed character> and see the result is...

Searching for the string "packet" in Elisp and in the C files of GNU  
Emacs I could not find a line which could produce an output with  
"<packet>" in it. Gnus has a lot of messages with "packet" in them. I  
presume that something else, maybe some keyboard driver, stumbles  
over something faulty in this "neo" keyboard layout when you press  
some particular key combination and then sends its error message to  
GNU Emacs. Maybe you're not using dead keys to produce accents?

Do

M-x toggle-debug-on-error RET

,repeat the error condition and look/post the backtrace of it.

I'm sorry: I can't help, but I can share infos.

I have exactly the same problem here. I have both 22.3 and 23.1
versions of emacs for windows.
Both version use the very same .emacs file. I'm also using a alternate
keyboard layout (in french).
The problem occurs when I use the autohotkey based pkl.
(pkl.sourceforge.net).

And only with 23.1, not with 22.3. If I use a native window keyboard
layout, the problem disappears.

Did you find any solution, since you started this thread?
