Trying to emerge app-emacs/ilisp bails out with 'Symbol's value as variable is void: comint-version'. (Attempting to kludge around it by setting it to "" in site-start.el merely gets me along far enough to get to 'Symbol's function definition is void: comint-mem') I'm using a recent emacs-cvs (GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.8.12) of 2006-06-26 on cocytus), which might be related to the problem. The problem occurs with both app-emacs/ilisp-5.12.0-r1 and app-emacs/ilisp-5.12.0-r3 (latest x86 and latest ~x86 at the moment).
I believe we will remove app-emacs/ilisp from portage. It is not maintained upstream as far as I know, and we certainly don't plan on maintaining it ourselves. For now, I'll include "!app-editors/emacs-cvs" in DEPEND, but when the next major version of emacs is released, we'll remove ilisp altogether.
BTW, you might consider SLIME which is also in Portage. It is a muched-raved-about successor to ilisp.
Ahh, thanks. Will try out SLIME. The main reason I went for ilisp is that (help) in dev-lisp/cmucl notes: If you aren't running this with ILISP (see: app-emacs/ilisp or app-xemacs/ilisp) in Emacs, or don't intend to use Hemlock (see: dev-lisp/cmucl-source) then you deserve to lose. :-) Would that warrant a separate bug report?
Ooops! No need to file another bug, I'll fix it here.
Ok. I've corrected the help banner.
