Subject: void variable problem
Date: Wed, 23 Mar 2011 13:12:07 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87aagl92xk.fsf@engels.HistoricalMaterialism.info> (raw)
I installed synonyms.el, and it depends on access to mthesar.txt. So I
created: /home/haines/mthesaur/mthesaur.txt and in .emacs access it with
the line (setq synonyms-file /home/haines/mthesaur/mthesaur.txt)
But when emacs loads, I get this error:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable
/home/haines/mthesaur/mthesaur\.txt)
(setq synonyms-file /home/haines/mthesaur/mthesaur\.txt)
eval-buffer(#<buffer *load*<4>> nil "/home/haines/.emacs" nil t) ;
Reading at buffer position 17897
load-with-code-conversion("/home/haines/.emacs"
"/home/haines/.emacs" nil nil)
load("~/.emacs")
What does the backshash in "mthesaur\.txt" mean?
