Bug 54052 – Emacs tex-mode does not work

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Andrey Grozin 2004-06-15 21:18:00 UTC]

When I edit a .tex file with emacs, tex-mode does not load (no syntax highlighting, no LaTeX-specific commands). When I do
M-x tex-mode
by hand, I get
Symbol's function definition is void: flyspell-mode-noerr
in the status line. This is very annoying, because I spend much of my time editing LaTeX files in emacs.

You probably have an incorrect ~/.emacs that tries to load flyspell when using tex-mode and reference an undefined function in the current version of flyspell, because there's no mention of flyspell-mode-noerr in /usr/share/emacs files.

Would you mind testing with emacs -q and try again.

I also suspect a bad configuration in your .emacs file

Yes, this problem had been resolved long ago. I had a ~/.emacs file left from another Linux distro; it was incompatible with Gentoo.

Why then is it still an active bug ?

I guess you can close it.

This was a bug in my ~/.emacs file
