I struggled for a while trying to determine a solution. A search using google for this error message found one person's experience which gave some guidance. I solved this problem by including the line (load "usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/mwheel.elc") as the first line in my .emacs startup file. I know this is surely not the _right_ way to solve this problem. This following line should have solved the problem, but it doesn't. ( autoload 'mwheel-install "mwheel" "Enable mouse wheel support" t) (mwheel-install) I would have thought emacs would look in /usr/share/emacs/21.3 and all of its directories to find mwheel.elc and resolve the reference to mwheel in the autoload statement, but it did not. Is this a bug or just some configuration error I have? I post this for others who may encounter this error message.
