I am running Emacs 21.3.50 on Mac OS 10.2.2. I recently installed igrep.el version 2.82, but it is not working properly. When I am in Dired and type igrep-find or other commands defined in igrep.el, I get the following error message:

I am running Emacs 21.3.50 on Mac OS 10.2.2. I recently installed
igrep.el version 2.82, but it is not working properly. When I am in
Dired and type igrep-find or other commands defined in igrep.el, I get
the following error message:
Loading igrep...
defvar: Symbol's value as variable is void: grep-null-device

How do I fix this? Is there a newer version of igrep?

Sincerely,

Please report problems with development versions of Emacs to 
emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org, not here.  Most Emacs developers don't read 
this forum.

Sounds like the Mac port doesn't define grep-null-device.  If so, it's a 
bug that should be fixed.

You could try looking into igrep.el for the definition of 
grep-null-device; I'm guessing that it lacks a test for the Mac.

I'm the author of igrep.el.  You do need a newer version; 2.84 has a fix to
handle the grep-null-device -> null-device change in Emacs 20.  The last version 
that I posted is 2.95, which you can find via google.com in this message:
