orgmode under XEmacs

orgmode under XEmacs

[York Block]

Hi,

I am trying to get orgmode working under XEmacs 21.4 (patch 18) without any
luck. I have followed the instruction, installed noutline-mode and set all the
variables as requested but I keep getting the following error:

Meta-x org-mode --> Wrong type argument: stringp, nil
If I load a .org file --> File mode specification error: (wrong-type-argument
stringp nil)

Thanks in advance,

York P. Block

ps. I am not an expert on XEmacs or Emacs configuration, I usually copy the
config  from what I find in the web.

Hi York,

we definitely need more information in order to find what the problem  
is.

1. org-mode version
    Always make sure you are using the latest version of org-mode because
    you bug may already have been found and fixed.

2. A copy of your entire configuration regarding org-mode.

3. A back-trace of the error.  This you can produce in the following  
way:
    - start a fresh xemacs and make sure that you load noutline.el and
      org.el instead of the byte-compiled .elc versions.  For example,
      I do this with

           xemacs -l /path/to/noutline.el -l /path/to/org.el

    - go to the menu Options->Troubleshooting
      and select "Debug on Error" there.

4. Go ahead and do whatever you have to do to hit the bug, like loading
    an org-mode file.

5. When the error is hit, xemacs will pop up a "*Backtrace*" buffer.
    We need to see the full content of this buffer.  As this buffer
    may contain very long lines, it is better to send it as an attachment
    than to copy it into the email.

With this information I often can find the bug already, or at least
know what else to ask from you.
