Try `emacsclient --help' for more information

I'm not an emacs user but apparently i installed some version of it at some point. I'd say which version but emacs -version just returns with no output. emacsclient -V on the other hand returns "emacsclient 22.1" so maybe that's useful.

I'm assuming the installer is just assuming the user has a recent enough version of emacs client if they have it installed.

I did a push yesterday that likely fixed this. Please try again!

Anyone still getting this? If I don't hear anything I'll close the issue.

sorry. yeah, just tried. I copy pasted the instruction from xiki.org and had the same result.

Do you have time to screenshare today or tomorrow, so we can try and track this down?

trogdoro commented 9 years ago

Let me know when is a good time. Or if anyone else having this issue can pair with me to help me track it down, that would be helpful!

masukomi commented 9 years ago

sorry about the delay. I'm free after 2PM EST Wed and Thur if that works for you. Hit me up on twitter @masukomi and we can work out a time.

I am happy to report it was user error :smile:

I had installed the Emacs.app and in order to have an emacs command I could use on my shell i had a little bash script named emacs that did this:

#!/bin/sh
nohup /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs "$@" > /dev/null 2>&1 &

After getting rid of that it worked fine. As an aside i opened the Emacs.app afterwards and it claims to be Version 24.3 (9.0) which doesn't seem that old, but what do I know. I'm a vim user. ;)
