Hi,
After installing auto-install, I was getting the following error while start
my emacs with `--debug-init' option 

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable <!DOCTYPE)
  eval-buffer(#<buffer  *load*<2>> nil "/home/ting/elisp/auto-install.el"
nil t)  ; Reading at buffer position 10
  load-with-code-conversion("/home/ting/elisp/auto-install.el"
"/home/ting/elisp/auto-install.el" nil t)
  require(auto-install)
  eval-buffer(#<buffer  *load*> nil "/home/ting/.emacs" nil t)  ; Reading at
buffer position 1377
  load-with-code-conversion("/home/ting/.emacs" "/home/ting/.emacs" t t)
  load("~/.emacs" t t)
  #[nil "\bพ

How could I fix it?
Thanks and regards!

It looks like you are trying to evaluate a buffer that contains not Emacs Lisp
but HTML or XML: (void-variable <!DOCTYPE). My guess is that you downloaded a
Web page, not the source file that the Web page linked to (somehow). Check the
content of your file auto-install.el - my guess is it is HTML.

Please download auto-install.el from
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/download/auto-install.el

And replace file /home/ting/elisp/auto-install.el
Then delete file /home/ting/elisp/auto-install.elc (if you have this
file).

Then restart Emacs, i think everything will be okay.
