Subject: Symbol's value as variable is void: dired-directory
Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2003 14:58:56 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m18yvJo-000IeGC@rattlesnake.com> (raw)

Today's CVS snapshot, Fri, 2003 Mar 28  14:53 UTC
GNU Emacs 21.3.50.253 (i686-pc-linux-gnu)
configured with  --with-x-toolkit=gtk
started with

     /usr/local/bin/emacs -q --no-site-file --eval '(blink-cursor-mode 0)'


When I run `C-x C-v' (find-alternate-file)
Emacs does not switch files, but gives me this error message:

    call-interactively: Symbol's value as variable is void: dired-directory


After I evaluate

    (setq dired-directory nil)

I am able to find an alternate file using `C-x C-v'. 


To reproduce: visit a file: 

    C-x C-f foo RET

Then try to visit an alternative file:

    C-x C-v bar RET
