Subject: abbrev file and -batch
Date: Fri, 23 Feb 2007 09:36:54 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200702231736.l1NHasRS001140@oogie-boogie.ics.uci.edu> (raw)
I got an error when using "sudo" to build an emacs rpm. (i.e. "sudo root")
The error looks like this:
../src/bootstrap-emacs -batch --no-site-file --multibyte -l autoload --eval '(setq generated-autoload-file "/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/emacs-22.0.93/lisp/loaddefs.el")' -f batch-update-autoloads $wins

Cannot open load file: ~/.abbrev_defs
make[2]: *** [autoloads] Error 255
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/emacs-22.0.93/lisp'
make[1]: *** [bootstrap-build] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/emacs-22.0.93'
make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.82722 (%build)
The problem is that the permissions for ~/.abbrev_defs (which is ~dann/.abbrev_defs) are -rw-------
~ is NFS mounted, so ~/.abbrev_defs is not readable when using "sudo"
The test for abbrev-file-name in startup.el can be changed from:
(if (file-exists-p abbrev-file-name)
to
(if (and (file-exists-p abbrev-file-name) (file-readable-p abbrev-file-name))
But also, should the abbrev file even be loaded when using -batch ?
