Symbol's function definition is void ((indent))

Symbol's function definition is void ((indent))

[Adam Spiers]

Hi all,

Back after a longish absence - great to see the work has been
continuing at a furious pace :-)

I just pulled the latest git master and tried a recompile.  Works fine
on emacs 22, but on emacs 21, I get:

emacs -batch -q -eval "(progn (add-to-list (quote load-path) \".\") (add-to-list (quote load-path) \"/home/aspiers/lib/emacs/GNU_Emacs/21.3/gnu/linux/pre\"))" -f batch-byte-compile lisp/org.el
Loading /usr/lib/emacs/21.3/i586-suse-linux/fns-21.3.1.el (source)...
While compiling toplevel forms in file /home/aspiers/roaming/hg/pacific/upstream/org-mode.git/lisp/org.el:
  !! Symbol's function definition is void ((indent))
Done
gmake[1]: *** [lisp/org.elc] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/aspiers/roaming/hg/pacific/upstream/org-mode.git'
gmake: *** [.org-installed] Error 2
gmake: Leaving directory `/home/aspiers/lib/emacs'

I couldn't explain that with a cursory glance - not the most helpful
error message I've ever seen!  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Adam

Fixed in 6.01a, hopefully.

Yep, thanks!  Please don't spend the time replying if you are busy,
but I'm curious how you debugged this - I couldn't find any relevant
mentions of 'indent' and the error message wasn't exactly verbose :-)
