In /usr/share/Macaulay2-0.9.2/emacs/M2-init.el, the first line defines the M2HOME variable. Initially it said: (defvar M2HOME "/var/tmp/portage/Macaulay2-0.9.2/image//usr/share/Macaulay2-0.9. 2") This lead to the following error in emacs upon pressing F12: Cannot open load file: M2.el I had to change the first line in M2-init.el to read: (defvar M2HOME "/usr/share/Macaulay2-0.9.2") I had to manually change it in order to get emacs to work with it (ie by pressing F12, it will load an M2 buffer). Now emacs works successfully with Macaulay2. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge Macaulay2 2. inspect /usr/share/Macaulay2-0.9.2/emacs/M2-init.el 3. notice the above error on the first line of the file Actual Results: the file /usr/share/Macaulay2-0.9.2/emacs/M2-init.el has a first line that reads: (defvar M2HOME "/var/tmp/portage/Macaulay2-0.9.2/image//usr/share/Macaulay2-0.9. 2") Expected Results: The software should edit the (defvar M2HOME "/foo/bar") to read the correct path.

Have to wait until I can build it (Bug #128066)
The latest testing version of Macaulay defines that variable no more. So would you please test the latest version, calculuspenguin?
sci-mathematics, but specifically markusle: This bug is fixed in the latest Macaulay2 version in testing, but emacs support must be enabled by the user, but could be handled by a emacs USE flag. Do you want to prepare it yourself or should I (=Emacs team) do that? Afterwards we should wait some days and ask arches for stabilisation then, current stable does not build anyway.

I am one of those vim guys and don't have much experience with emacs. Thanks, Markus

Great and thanks! Markus
