Configure Emacs to send Growl notifications on OSX

Configure Emacs to send Growl notifications on OSX

[Brian Adkins]

If you use Emacs on OSX and would like the ability to send growl
notifications using Emacs Lisp, the following article may be of
interest:

I use ERC on Emacs for my IRC client, so it's handy to be able to send
growl notifications. I use Carbon Emacs, but if you use Aquaemacs,
there is a link at the top pointint to the original article that I
modified slightly, so one of the two should be helpful.

Or you could just use growl.el: http://edward.oconnor.cx/elisp/growl.el

Thanks Ted. 

I did look at growl.el, but I didn't want to install another
program. By not having the dependency on another program, I can simply
copy my Emacs .el files to another machine and go.

If you have Growl installed, you should have growlnotify installed. It
ships with Growl.

That doesn't appear to be the case for me:

~$ growlnotify
-bash: growlnotify: command not found
~$ locate growlnotify
~$ 

Spotlight didn't find it either.

Mac OSX 10.5.7
Growl 1.1.4

I thought their website mentioned installing some "extras" package.

It ships with Growl, but is not in the .mpgk that gets installed.
If you open the Growl .dmg you will find growlnotify in the Extras
folder.
