Opening hyperlinks with w3m-el in Emacs buffer?

Opening hyperlinks with w3m-el in Emacs buffer?

[Paul Chany]

Hi,

I have installed GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu) of 2009-11-02 on
raven, modified by Debian.

I'm using w3m-el to browse the Internet.

I'm using Org-mode too. In one of my .org file I have an external
hyperlink that is pointing to
http://www.gnustep.it/nicola/Tutorials/Renaissance/index.html

When I C-c C-o on that link to open it then I get a message: Cannot open
load file: w3.

I have tried customize Emacs to get this to work but so far without
success.
I googled for the solution the Internet but nothing find.
I red the GNU Emacs Manual but again don't find the solution.

I have these customizations in my .emacs file:
 '(browse-url-browser-function (quote browse-url-w3))
 '(browse-url-new-window-flag t)

How can I setup Emacs to get this to work?

Any advices will be appreciated!

This is not what you have configured, below.

w3 is not w3m.

If you want to use w3, then install it.
If you want to use w3m, then configure w3m instead of w3.

I get help: just add w3m-browse-url instead of browse-url-w3 to
browse-url-browser-function and it just works!

Why don't change the Emacs Developers in the Emacs Customization Buffer
in the [Value Menu] to be instead of 'browse-url-w3' the
'w3m-browse-url'?

Ask them.

But notice that there are tens of different browsers, so whatever
setting they may put by default, a lot of people will be unhappy about
it.  You MUST configure it yourself!
