emacs complains Symbol's function definition is void: use-package

[plattyfish]

Just installed soccer from Melpa Copied full config to bottom of my .emacs file and I get the message when I launch emacs (27.1) on Lubuntu 22.04 If I try M-x soccer there are no entries to soccer.

Suggestions, please

Regards James

This is what I copied to my .emacs file

(use-package soccer :straight (soccer :type git :host github :repo "md-arif-shaikh/soccer") :init (setq soccer-leagues-alist '(("England" . "Premier League") ("Spain" . "Laliga") ("France" . "Ligue 1") ("Italy" . "Serie A") ("Germany" . "Bundesliga") ;;("uefa" . "Champions League") ;;("England" . "Championship") )) :config (setq soccer-time-local-time-utc-offset "+0530") :bind (("C-c s f" . soccer-fixtures-next) ("C-c s r" . soccer-results-last) ("C-c s s" . soccer-scorecard) ("C-c s t" . soccer-table)))

Hi, can you try installing straight and use-package using the following code

;;; bootstrap straight
(defvar bootstrap-version)
(let ((bootstrap-file
       (expand-file-name "straight/repos/straight.el/bootstrap.el" user-emacs-directory))
      (bootstrap-version 5))
  (unless (file-exists-p bootstrap-file)
    (with-current-buffer
    (url-retrieve-synchronously
      "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/raxod502/straight.el/develop/install.el"
         'silent 'inhibit-cookies)
      (goto-char (point-max))
      (eval-print-last-sexp)))
  (load bootstrap-file nil 'nomessage))

;;; install use-package
(straight-use-package 'use-package)

After that you should be able to install soccer from the source using

(use-package soccer
:straight (soccer :type git :host github :repo "md-arif-shaikh/soccer")

I tried to build and use soccer using the above block of code on a new machine and it worked. So I expect it will work for you too. Let me know if you still have a problem. The original issue was that you did not have the package straight or use-package installed in your emacs, the above block of code does that for you.

M-x soccer-fixtures-all-clubs should give something like below
