cannot open load file

cannot open load file

[lehe]

Hi,

I just installed bash debugger bashdb under ${HOME}/bin/bashdb-4.0-0.2/bin.
Now I want to use it in emacs. 

As bashdb.el indicates, I add into .emacs "(autoload 'bashdb "bashdb" "BASH
Debugger mode via GUD and bashdb" t)". However I got this "cannot open load
file: bashdb" error when "M-x bashdb". The error remains when I add this to
".emacs": 
(setq load-path 
      (append (list nil "${HOME}/bin/bashdb-4.0-0.2/bin/" 
                    "/user/bil/emacs" 
                    "/usr/local/lisplib" 
                    "~/emacs") 
              load-path)) 
I am not sure if PATH also has effect, but I include bashdb path into it. 


Thanks in advance!

You only need the path that includes the .el file here, but I 
think you need to expand ~ and HOME first.

(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/emacs"))

Cannot open load file

[rahed]

Hi,

I installed an emacs 23.1 package from sunfreeware on solaris.

Opening it with emacs -Q and doing C-h v load-path gives:

Cannot open load file: easymenu

If started with -L /usr/local/share/emacs/23.1/lisp/emacs-lisp

the easymenu is found.

Then C-h v load-path gives only the above path and site-lisp paths.

The load path variable is not set, could someone elaborate?

Hm. Difficult to elaborate without knowing what you expect. Starting
Emacs with the -Q option more-or-less tells it to load as little
customizations as possible, so I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't
find its .el files...

What do you expect, and why?

Having load-path set, because it's built-in. Try it! (Outside of  
Solaris best.)

Indeed (no Solaris here, Debian GNU/Linux). Seems to be a problem with
the sunfreeware distribution?

Any sunfreewarers out there?

To eliminate possible problems with my .emacs.

I wasn't able to find out where the load-path variable is defined. I get
it's set in the emacs binary when it was being built. I will try to
build it from source. I use several emacs packages for solaris 10 but
this broken one is for solaris 9.

Look at the output of ./configure --help! The file src/epaths.h will  
contain a setting.

Installing from source was ok though it was tedious. I suppose the
package is broken.

When you use the function to create a bug report (in Help menu for  
example) you get a *mail* buffer (hopefully) which gives some hints  
how GNU Emacs was configured and compiled. You can also check which  
shared libraries it uses (either lsof or ldd).
