I downloaded it from the web and compiled it myself: dirac projects $ ls -lad emacs-23.1* drwxr-xr-x 34 ob owner 1156 Jul 29 18:15 emacs-23.1/ drwxr-xr-x 15 ob owner 510 Aug 5 11:56 emacs-23.1-compiled/ -rw-r--r-- 1 ob owner 34382732 Aug 5 11:25 emacs-23.1.tar.bz2 dirac projects $ md5sum emacs-23.1.tar.bz2 17f7f0ba68a0432d58fa69d05a2225be emacs-23.1.tar.bz2 dirac projects $ The MD5SUM from http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu-emacs/2009-07/msg00000.html The MD5 check-sums for the tarballs are: a620d4452769d04ad8864d662f34f8dd emacs-23.1.tar.gz 17f7f0ba68a0432d58fa69d05a2225be emacs-23.1.tar.bz2 And as I said, (emacs-version) says: "GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i386-apple-darwin9.7.0, NS apple-appkit-949.46) of 2009-08-05 on dirac.bitmover.com" Note the 2009-08-05 which agrees with when I downloaded and compiled it. Any other ideas? :) Cheers, -Oscar On Aug 11, 2009, at 8:09 PM, Lennart Borgman wrote: > You are using an old unreleased version of Emacs. First Emacs 23 was > 2009-07-30.
