I tried your suggestion, and obviously the > daemon cannot be started. Its the same with or without server running. Is the Emacs server using TCP or UNIX sockets? The -f argument only makes sense for TCP; otherwise emacsclient looks for a socket to connect to in `server-socket-dir'. The name of the socket defaults to "server" in that directory but can be specified with the -s argument. I'm not sure why it was trying to use ~/tmp/ as a default server file location, given that your prefix according to that pkgbuild was /usr/. -- Regards, WGG
