I often use the same .emacs on various machines which may not have all the packages I normally load. To get around this I use the Fabrice Niessen's 'try-require' function taken from http://www.mygooglest.com/fni/dot-emacs.html Due to some recent problems, I wanted to look at the way I load things and wondered how others deal with missing packages. Cheers, Loris PS: I mainly use Emacs 25, but would be interested in Emacs 24 compatibility. -- Dr. Loris Bennett (Mr.) ZEDAT, Freie Universität Berlin Email loris.bennett@fu-berlin.de
