Error while loading init.el #170

Closed bluenote10 closed 9 years ago

bluenote10 commented 9 years ago

As suggested, I now have a .emacs.d/init.el containing only the line:

(add-to-list 'package-archives '("marmalade" . "https://marmalade-repo.org/packages/"))

When I start Emacs I get:

Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading `/home/<user>/.emacs.d/init.el':

Symbol's value as variable is void: package-archives

This seems to be related with this. But since this is my very first experience with Emacs I do not even understand the solution mentioned. Probably not a big issue in general, but rather unfortunate for a starter kit.

I'm running Emacs 24.3.1.
