Something is definitely off there. Those files are only supposed to be loaded if you already have their dependencies loaded. To take one example, in drupal-mode.el:
(eval-after-load 'helm-gtags '(require 'drupal/helm-gtags))
Causes the helm-gtags support to only be loaded after helm-gtags has been loaded.
Do you see other references to helm-gtags in the drupal-mode directory apart from that and the file itself?
Yeah that's what I figured, I just can't understand why Emacs would be trying to load them even though they're not present. But I'm completely new to the built-in packaging system.
If I run grep -ri "helm" .
on the .emacs.d/elpa/drupal-mode*
directory, the only hits are the line you mentioned in drupal-mode.el, drupal-mode.elc (presumably the same thing but compiled), and drupal/helm-gtags.el (obviously).
I can reproduce this error even after completely emptying out my .emacs.d
directory except for init.el
, which contains just this:
(require 'package) ;; You might already have this line
(add-to-list 'package-archives
'("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/"))
(when (< emacs-major-version 24)
;; For important compatibility libraries like cl-lib
(add-to-list 'package-archives '("gnu" . "http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")))
(package-initialize) ;; You might already have this line
Tried installing it via list-packages instead? Doubt it makes much difference though.
Tried installing other packages? expand-region and smartparens seems to have a bunch of eval-after-loads too.
Hope @arnested has better ideas.
list-packages behaves no differently.
I am able to install expand-region and smartparens just fine.
Does emacs store configuration anywhere other than ~/.emacs.d
? I'm just trying to figure out what could possibly be misconfigured on my machine, if anything.
One thing is that Mac installs a very old version of emacs by default (I think 22). I updated it to 25 via Homebrew. Could it be conflicting with the older version somehow?
Odd indeed.
Does emacs store configuration anywhere other than ~/.emacs.d?
Emacs doesn't really store configuration as such, per default it loads ~/.emacs
/~/.emacs.el
/~/.emacs.d/init.el
and places like /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp
, but it tries to keep versions separate.
I'm on Linux, so I don't know much about homebrew, @arnested would know more about that.
I'll take a look later. Weird problem.
I'm running Emacs 25 on Mac OS X. I'm trying to install drupal-mode by simply running M-x, package-install, drupal-mode.
It seems that all of drupal-mode's "optional" dependencies are actually required when installed this way, as the install fails with a lot of errors about missing dependencies. I was able to resolve a few of them by installing flymake-phps, ggtags, php-mode, and others (deleting the drupal-mode directory in the .emacs.d/elpa folder each time), but I still can't figure out how to resolve this:
