Re: emacs install problem

[Randall R Schulz <rrschulz at cris dot com>]

Joe,

Here's something else funky:

% type -a emacs
bash: type: emacs: not found

% ll /etc/setup/emacs.lst.gz
-rwxrwxrwx    1 Administ None           20 Aug 11 06:40 
/etc/setup/emacs.lst.gz*

% zcat /etc/setup/emacs.lst.gz

% zcat /etc/setup/emacs.lst.gz |wc
      0       0       0

% find /usr /lib -iname '*emacs*'
/usr/share/enscript/emacs.hdr
/usr/share/enscript/hl/style_emacs.st
/usr/share/enscript/hl/style_emacs_verbose.st
/usr/share/guile/1.5.6/ice-9/emacs.scm
/usr/share/texmf/doc/help/Catalogue/entries/ntemacs.html

 % ll {mirrors.rcn.net}/release/emacs/emacs-21.2-1.tar.bz2
-rwxrwxrwx    1 Administ None     11404615 Aug 10 21:41 
{mirrors.rcn.net}/release/emacs/emacs-21.2-1.tar.bz2*


This might be a relevant clue, given the accidental clash or duplication of 
the "ctags" and "etags" tools between the 21.2-1 Emacs package and the 
"ctags" package:

% ll /bin/?tags.exe
-rwxrwxrwx    1 Administ None        94208 Dec 26  2001 /bin/ctags.exe*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 Administ None           20 Dec 26  2001 /bin/etags.exe -> 
ctags.exe*

% zcat /etc/setup/ctags.lst.gz
usr/bin/ctags.exe
usr/bin/etags.exe
usr/doc/ctags/COPYING
usr/doc/ctags/FAQ
usr/doc/ctags/QUOTES
usr/doc/ctags/README
usr/man/man1/ctags.1
usr/man/man1/etags.1


Something doesn't seem to add up here. I recall no error indication during 
download or install of the emacs-21.2-1 package.

Does anyone have an explanation? I'm downloading the 21.2-3 package now, 
but since I'm getting teTeX packages, incl. source (via modem, no less), 
it'll be a while before I can install and test it.

I'm running Win2K Pro, SP2 (SP3 will be going in shortly).
