mobileorg - "No executable found to compute checksums"

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 192 bytes --]

I am trying to get mobileorg setup and receive the following message from
org-mobile-push

"No executable found to compute checksums"

Any ideas?

Windows 7
Org Version 6.36c
GNU Emacs 23.2.1

Hi Buck,

You need a copy of shasum.exe in your system path.  You should be able
to download this package from gnuwin32:

http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/downlinks/coreutils-bin-zip.php

You don't need everything from that package, just the one .exe.

Hope this helps,
Richard

You mean my windows system path, not my .emacs load path, right?

[Apologies to Buck for the double send: I forgot to cc: the list.]

Presumably, you don't have any of the following programs on your machine, so the
variable is set to nil:

(defcustom org-mobile-checksum-binary (or (executable-find "shasum")
					  (executable-find "sha1sum")
					  (executable-find "md5sum")
					  (executable-find "md5"))
  "Executable used for computing checksums of agenda files."
  :group 'org-mobile
  :type 'string)

If you have some checksumming program, customize the variable
to  be the pathname of the program. If not, you'll have to get one.

This was discussed on the list before:

Nick,

Could you give me an example of what you mean when you say "customize the
variable to be the path name"?

Thanks four help.

M-x customize <RET>

Type `org-mobile-checksum-binary' in the Search box and click on the Search button.

Move the cursor to the headline and press <RET> to expand it (if necessary).

Move the cursor to the text box that contains the default path (in my case,
it says /usr/bin/shasum), erase it and type in the correct path for your
case: it's hard to be specific here because I don't know which program you
have (or have downloaded) and where you put it. If you followed Richard's
suggestion of getting the shasum.exe program and you put it in in /system/win32
you should say

    /system/win32/shasum.exe

(NB: in general, you should take whatever I say with a grain of salt,
but when I talk about Windows, you should use at least a bucket ;-) - but
I'm sure somebody will correct any mistakes here.)

HTH,
Nick

Nick, thanks for your help.  Unfortunately, when I try to save my
customization (~/other/sha1sum.exe), I get the following message:

Symbol's value as variable is void: ~/other/sha1sum\.exe

I have no idea why that would be: the type of the variable is string, so
why anything is trying to interpret it as a symbol is beyond me. The
backslash before the period is also suspicious, but I don't see how it
would cause this problem. All I can suggest is:

      o try again carefully.
      o find somebody around who can help.

Alternatively, you can add this to your .emacs:

    (setq org-mobile-checksum-binary "~/other/sha1sum.exe")

Make sure that that is placed *after* you load any customization file
(or make sure that you erase any customization for this variable: click
on State and select "Erase customization").

HTH,
Nick

No luck.  I'll keep searching around, and I'll post if I find a solution.

Really appreciate your help, however.
