Emacs24 installation problem on Mac OS X #81

Open gmlewis opened 10 years ago

gmlewis commented 10 years ago

After installing Emacs support and restarting Emacs24 on Mac OS X, I get this:

Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading `/Users/gmlewis/.emacs':

Symbol's value as variable is void: /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0/gems/trogdoro-el4r-1.0.10/lib/el4r/el4r-sub.rb:537:

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file.  Start Emacs with
the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error backtrace.

I was surprised that Emacs was attempting to run a Ruby file.

I think the install said to use 1.9.3

Have you tried using rvm to set your ruby to that version before setting up xiki?

I had the same problem under Mavericks... I had a few attempts at an install, even from a fresh install of the OS. Would be good to see a tutorial updated to show how to get past this. It's frustrating to see something on the front page of /. and spend a day trying to install it (not that it's a first)! Great looking project.

Same problem here, I am using ruby 2.1.2p95 because seriously? Downgrading ruby from 2.x to 1.x just because of one program? If it really needs an outdated ruby version it should say how to install another old ruby next to the system wide ruby and how to configure xiki to use the special old ruby.

So I tried using Ruby 1.9.3 and this is now what I get:

How can I completely uninstall xiki and do a clean re-install?

Note: I am using homebrew for ruby installation
