okay, I tried:
cd /usr/bin
sudo mv ./emacs ./emacs.old # move pre-installed emacs
sudo ln -s /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/emacs emacs
Starting "emacs" from a new terminal then opened emacs, but ended up in a mess:
localhost:~ mhofert$ emacs
Warning: arch-dependent data dir (/Users/david/src/emacs-dev/ftp-versions/emacs-23.3/nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/libexec/emacs/23.3/x86_64-apple-darwin/) does not exist.
Warning: arch-independent data dir (/Users/david/src/emacs-dev/ftp-versions/emacs-23.3/nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/share/emacs/23.3/etc/) does not exist.
Error: charsets directory (/Users/david/src/emacs-dev/ftp-versions/emacs-23.3/nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/share/emacs/23.3/etc/charsets) does not exist.
Emacs will not function correctly without the character map files.
Please check your installation!
Warning: Could not find simple.el nor simple.elc
Any ideas?
/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/emacs works fine, though.
Cheers,
Marius
