g-client for blogger

g-client for blogger

[novaburst]

Hello,

I'm very new to Emacs. This is the first time I've edited the .emacs
file.
I'm trying to install g-client so I can use it to write my Blogger
entries with Emacs. I am using OpenSUSE Linux. I am following the
directions from this URL: http://buzz.blogger.com/2007/03/emacs-client-for-blogger.html

I placed this code in my .emacs

(load-library "g")
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/g-client")


I get the following error when running Emacs.

File error: "Cannot open load file", "g"


Any help would be appreciated. I'm trying to increase my knowledge of
Emacs.

Thank you

It cannot find the library, because you add it to the load-path (that's
where it looks for libraries) one line later. Reverse the two line and
you should be fine.

Good to know, but I also tried reversing the two lines and it was
still unable to load a file. I can't remember which one, but I will
try it again when I get home tonight and find out.
Thank you for the reply.

Ok, I found the problem by researching a bit. After entering the code
correctly, I received the message: cannot open load file, g-cus-load
I created a file called g-cus-load.el
In that file I put one statement:  (provide 'g-cus-load)

Once I had that, Emacs loaded just fine with no errors.
