I'm running emacs 20.7 on Solaris. Actually, I run an xterm (with or without a window manager) on the box remotely, using Tarantella. Emacs works fine interactively; I just can't use it in batch mode with variable EMACSLOADPATH. If EMACSLOADPATH is undefined, I can run emacs OK in batch (but of course I can't load libraries, then). If EMACSLOADPATH is defined at all, I get this error: Cannot open load file: disp-table disp-table is not a library of mine that I load (consciously). It appears to be a built-in library that is getting loaded by default. The only occurrence of disp-table in the info help is in a discussion of "Single-byte European Character Support". It doesn't matter what the options to emacs -batch are, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with any site file: emacs -batch emacs -batch -q [-batch should imply -q anyway] emacs --no-site-file -batch -eval '(message "hello")' emacs -nw --no-site-file -batch -eval '(message "hello")' emacs -batch -l mylib emacs -batch -l mylib -f myfun These all give the same error when EMACSLOADPATH is defined. The first four work OK when it is not defined (the last two need a load-path). Anyone have an idea on this?
