Hi,

I installed emacs on winxp and got the message. Please advise.

cd c:/test/test
grep -n max  NUL
'grep' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

grep finished with no matches found at Sat Jan 10 17:43:11

"M-x grep" invokes an external program called grep.exe.  If you don't
have it installed, or it is not somewhere along the PATH that is
known to Emacs, you will see this message.

Solution: install a port of GNU Grep so that Emacs can find it.

Thank you. How can I set the path ? Answers or references will be appreciated.

That depends on your Windows version.  I'm guessing that in your
case, it's in Control Panel->System->Environment or something like
that.

But before you tinker with PATH, you should make sure you have
grep.exe somewhere on your disk.

It is a GTK+ bug, related to your window manager theme and nothing to do
with emacs. It is documented in the GTK+ bug tracker. Just ignore it.

Thanks. I'll just send it to /dev/null and hope I don't need to see
any other messages:

function em { emacs "$@" >& /dev/null & }
