Description Kristian Sørensen 2004-03-11 15:09:29 UTC

When emacs-21 is executed, it looks for site-start.el in /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp ... however this file doesn't exist.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge app-editors/emacs
2. (e.g.) emerge app-emacs/ruby-mode
3. ls /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.el [no file found]




This is easily solved by making a softlink from site-gentoo.el to site-start.el

Comment 1 Jeremy Maitin-Shepard 2004-03-11 17:24:20 UTC

As noted in the information messages output by the ruby-mode ebuild, this is a feature, not a bug.  Gentoo no longer manages site-start.el, allowing users to better customize their site configuration; you can make that soft link if you want.
