Symbol's value as variable is void: file-local-variables-alist #12

Hi,

I am trying to use zotelo. By following the instructions listed in this website, including:

Emacs 24.2.50.1+AUCTEX version: 11.87 firefox with zotero extension MozRepl (Activate on startup)

But, when i try to set the collection with (C-c z c), I get this error: Symbol's function definition is void: add-file-local-variable

Could you help me on this?

Thank you!

solve the problem. It turns out you can only run these cmds in emacs GUI not terminal.

This should not be. It should work in terminal as well. I will check this tomorrow. I see you also figured how to set up the bib file

I am afraid I cannot reproduce the problem. file-local-variables-alist is always defined in any version of emacs -q I have tried. It is part of files.el which is loaded at startup. I am afraid this is your local problem, which might be due to a very special emacs configuration of yours. Try putting (require 'files) in your .emacs.

And also, to me, it is not clear that how zotelo creates the connections among Zotero with the local .bib file used inside Emacs.

Could you help me on this?

Thank you!
