error of (wrong-type-argument symbolp "elisp")

[leoncamel]

I upgrade to the latest helm, but I got a error : (wrong-type-argument symbolp "elisp")

Here is the backtrace:

Oops, it seems my bad. My elpa directory contains two version of helm. So, it seems good after a clean install.

Ah! Ok, can I close this issue so?

[leoncamel]

OK, sorry for this wrong issue.

[leoncamel]

@thierryvolpiatto Hey, may I ask if you can do "make" in your helm.git, and restart your emacs? I can produce this bug again, if I byte-compile helm from git repo.

[cofi]

Please provide the information which emacs version you use.

I can't reproduce with emacs24.1.50 and a byte-compiled HEAD.

Given that the relevant file (helm-info.el) has not been changed for a month I doubt that the code is the culprit. I'm using the info index sources myself as well and they work fine.

[leoncamel]

On both following version, I can reproduce this bug.

GNU Emacs 24.1.50.1 (i386-apple-darwin11.4.0, NS apple-appkit-1138.47) of 2012-05-31 on Leon-no-MBP

and

GNU Emacs 24.1.50.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.10) of 2012-05-30 on leon-new-desktop

I just wrote the following simple configs into init.el:

(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/.emacs.d/vendor/helm.git/"))
(require 'helm-config)
(helm-mode 1)

And, if I do not do "make" in helm.git, it works fine. But, if I do "make", it will show the following backtrace:

I am so confused about this bug. Probably, this bug is related to the latest emacs's build. Any other clue?

BTW: @cofi could you show me your emacs's version?

[leoncamel]

Oops, I just rebuild a latest emacs, it works now. My latest working version is:

GNU Emacs 24.1.50.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.10) of 2012-06-06 on leon-new-desktop

Updated: I guess, this bug #11594 introduce this problem.
