opening a cpp file

opening a cpp file

[Gary Wessle]

Hi
I am trying to open a .cpp file, it opens it with an external viewer  

MR Buffer           Size  Mode         File
 -- ------           ----  ----         ----
.*  *scratch*	        0  Lisp Interaction 
 *  *Messages*	     1721  Fundamental	
 *  *ESS*	      182  Fundamental	
 *  *extview log*     489  Fundamental	

how can I open it normally with the cpp mode?

in my .emacs I have 
****************************************************************
(setq auto-mode-alist
  (append '(
    ("configure.in" . m4-mode)
    ("\\.m4\\'" . m4-mode)
    ("\\.am\\'" . makefile-mode)
    ("\\.cpp\\'" . c++-mode)
    ("\\.h$" . c++-mode)
    ("\\.py\\'" . python-mode))
   auto-mode-alist))
****************************************************************

thanks

I had the same problem especially with .tex files (but others, too).
Now I open them with emacsclient. I put the appropriate lines in my
.emacs prompting extview to open .tex files with emacsclient.

Sounds most  likely like some screwed  configuration in your
.emacs  or  site  lisp  file.   Does it  happen  with  emacs
--no-site-file -q too?
