emacs hangs loading foundation pack on osx #85

Closed wgb closed 11 years ago

Emacs fails to load on OSX while loading osx.el in the foundation pack. Clean install of both Emacs 24 and emacs live.

Hi @wgb,

sorry that you're having issues. Could you read this page and give a bit more feedback: http://overtone.github.com/emacs-live/doc-reporting-issues.html

wgb commented 11 years ago

Doesn't produce a stacktrace because it looks like the problem is tied to permissions, so it just hangs without throwing. It's solved by running emacs as root. Might have something to do with installing emacs through brew??

Weird. There's not much I can do without an ability to duplicate the issue.

What are the permissions for your ~/.emacs.d/ dir?

samaaron commented 11 years ago

Hi @wgb, is this still an issue?

samaaron commented 11 years ago

@wgb ping.

@samaaron - just an update to this old issue: It was an issue with two versions of emacs being installed. I'm no longer using OSX, but I'm almost positive the problem comes when you install emacs using brew while there's still the default emacs install that comes with OSX.
