Re: can one run tk/Ruby gui code from an emacs shell with compile?

Thank you for the information on controlling which version
gets run. It will come in handy when I have to upgrade from
the tiger version.

Yes indeed. You are right. I had not followed up on your
instructions to remove the file.

I did not have the .elc file

I renamed the aspell file .le instead of .el

redoing the above in emacs, there is no line with DYLD

The terminal shell still works, emacs does not. Same error.

the site says, I would need to create a directory and a
.plist file, as I have neither one.

I looked in my panther book at all the bash environment
variables, but I have no clue as to what to do.  Sorry.

Thanks for all your effort.
