MacOS NS Build -- open -a emacs failing

MacOS NS Build -- open -a emacs failing

[Alberto Simões]

Hello

I am using for a few months emacs on my MacOS. For that I used an
alias emacs='open -a emacs' and it all worked alright.

Last night I did a cvs update, recompiled, installed, and now, 'open
-a emacs file' is not working. I notice the menu bar changing to
Emacs, but it goes out again without further error notice.


Any hint on what might be happening?

Thank you
Alberto

PS: emacs starts correctly with Emacs.app icon

So there is something in your init file that makes it quit ...

You can launch Emacs.app as: /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/ 
Emacs --debug-init <optional other arguments> &

This will allow you to debug your init files.

Thanks.

Unfortunately it did not help much :)

[ambs@rachmaninoff ~]$ /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs
--debug-init
Warning: arch-dependent data dir
(/Users/ambs/tmp/emacs/nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/libexec/emacs/23.0.94/i386-apple-darwin9.7.0/)
does not exist.
Cannot open load file: encoded-kb

I do not think the Warning is relevant.
Now, I do not have any idea about 'encoded-kb'.

[ambs@rachmaninoff ~]$ grep -r encoded-kb elisp/*
[ambs@rachmaninoff ~]$ grep -r encoded-kb .emacs
[ambs@rachmaninoff ~]$

Thanks for hint
Alberto

Presumingly you did not run 'sudo make install' as the final step. So  
the stuff in /Applications/Emacs.app is not complete. And searching  
for the missing Elisp file is better performed inside GNU Emacs or  
Emacs.app and in the /Applications/Emacs.app tree (I presume you  
configured for an ns-self-contained result).

DAMN. Stupid me.
I should know, as this is not my first time :(


Thank you, and sorry for the noise.
