After many changes on my Debian Jessie, when I launch the command emacs I receive an error libgnutls.so.26 : cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.
If I launch instead the command emacs24 everything is allright.
I have emacs in /usr/local/bin
I have emacs24 in /usr/bin.
So, for now I created an alias to launch emacs24 as emacs, but i don't like and, for example, i have to change the git setting to open the default ide cause emacs is not availlable yet.
The question is where is the correct position of the command ? I have to change my PATH ?
Consider that libgnutls.so.26 is not installable from apt.
Thanks for any suggest or advice.
This is very strange, because a simple sudo dnf install emacs should suffice (I use fedora, so you probably use apt-get instead of dnf). Maybe it is best to just reinstall emacs (backup your .emacs to be safe) using apt-get? Anyhow, in fedora the emacs executable is located at /usr/bin/emacs (which is also the one used in the terminal when you use the emacs command).

I currently use MINGW64 (Git Bash) as my terminal on my Windows 10 machine. It works great, I like it, but it only has Vim installed as an editor and I prefer Emacs. I'm unfortunately having a really awful time getting it to work in my terminal.
What's weirder still is that I have Emacs working in Cygwin64; but I don't like using that as my terminal. The most logical fix is simply that it Emacs to my Path ENV, however that doesn't seem to help (perhaps I'm doing that wrong?). I just get bash: emacs: command not found. I found a command to install it, using Pacman, however the Pacman command cannot be found either (which is weird because I thought that was installed by default with MINGW64.
Would love any and all help on this.
A couple of options:
Use Cygwin and the Cygwin emacs. Consider your Cygwin environment completely separate from Windows, so set your PATH from within the .bashrc, not within Windows. Launch emacs from the bash command-line.
Use the Emacs Windows binary distribution, but point to the utilities within Cygwin (there's an emacs package to help with this). Again, launch from the bash command line to inherit the bash environment within emacs.
Use the Windows Subsystem for Linux, with a Linux installation, and stick with emacs from there. You get the best of the Linux world, and access to the Windows directories and files as well.
My goto choice for MANY years was the Emacs Windows binary in conjunction with Cygwin. Once I started using the WSL, however, it just worked a lot better, in a clean Linux environment, and I could get terminal and GUI emacs (and other apps) running using the VcXsrv X Server. WSL has a version that directly supports X Windows, but I don't care for the windowing environment it uses, so I stick with VcXsrv.
I'm trying to install Emacs via Homebrew. Having done this and aliased to my apps folder, I found that when I ran Emacs it came up Spacemacs. I did them remember the system had Spacemacs installed a few years ago. So, I uninstalled Emacs, removed the emacs folders. Now, Homebrew shows no installation of Emacs. However, when I run emacs in the terminal, I still get Spacemacs.
How do I completely remove Spacemacs so I can install "vanilla" Emacs?
I thought I'd look at where Spacemacs is installed and did a "whereis emacs", but nothing but the prompt was returned.
Remove or rename ~/emacs.d folder. Spacemacs is not a different emacs, it's a different way of initializing emacs. The initialization files are in ~/emacs.d.
I realised that Spacemacs was a layer of Emacs. I needed to delete the .spacemacs folder in my user directory. Once done Emacs showed up as vanilla.
To completely remove emacs, I also searched for "emacs" and it found some folders in various bin directories. Once all of this was removed my system was ready for a vanilla emacs installation.
First, check where your emacs loads its configurations. Probably from ~/.emacs.d.
Then, remove the folder or just rename it.
Finally, restart emacs
As of spacemacs, there is another file named .spacemacs, it usually dwells in your home folder. If you remove/rename ~/.emacs.d and do nothing about .spacemacs,emacs will not read .spacemacs.
I'm trying to setup elpy for emacs on my windows system, on which I'm using Winpython 3.4.3.
I have installed all the dependencies such as rope, flake8, etc... using pip. When I type M-x elpy-config in emacs, I get "Neither easy_install nor pip found".
If I run (executable-find "python") then I get the correct path to my Winpython installation.
What might be the problem?
On Windows 7 with Emacs 24.5 and Python 2.7 it worked for me to include the actual directory containing pip (Scripts) in the exec-path; using M-x customize-variable exec-path. Apparently, including just the directory of the python executable was not enough.
I have recently installed cygwin as I want to use (and learn) emacs and make it my regular text editor (as I use Notepad++ now).
The motivation for this comes from some sites like this:
http://batsov.com/articles/2011/08/19/a-peek-at-emacs24/
Also, I want to learn the internals of linux. I tried vi but its too CUIish for my taste. So I installed cygwin (with it's default emacs 23.3). But I wanted to try emacs 24 too so I want to install it side by side with cygwin's emacs 23.3. This can be done in a linux distro by installing emacs in /opt and making symlinks. But how do I install emacs binaries in cygwin?
From where do I get such binaries.
Currently I am using 'Emacs for Windows' seperately from cygwin, but it is hard to get it in a portable format. If I manage to install it in cygwin then my whole cygwin environment can be portable.
I generally try to install softwares so that they are portable as far as possible.
You can use the setup.exe that you used to install cygwin, to install Emacs as well.
How can I make Emacs run in terminal (or console) mode by default, as if I'd used -nw? And once that's done, how do I force it to run in GUI mode (once) if I need to?
On my Debian testing, alias emacs='emacs -nw' followed by emacs opens Emacs in the terminal. And, in the same session, emacs23-x opens Emacs with the GUI.
In case you decide to use emacs in terminal mode always, install emacs-nox (emacs with no X support).
After installationis still ran by $ emacs so you no need to create aliases again!:)
Its there in repos of Debian Squeeze so must be in Ubuntu also.
This answer suggests the method I found works best for me (was having problems with aliases). Essentially, create an executable script
#!/bin/sh
emacs -nw "$#"
and point $EDITOR to it in your shell rc file.
I ran into this problem and didn't want to set an alias (because I also wanted "emacs -nw" to be my default shell EDITOR but it wouldn't work) so I started grepping around and saw this line in configure
If you are sure you want Emacs compiled without X window support, pass
--without-x to configure.
So, if you want to download and build from source, you can just do
curl http://gnu.mirrors.hoobly.com/emacs/emacs-25.3.tar.xz
tar -xvzf emacs-25.3.tar.xz && cd emacs-25.3
./configure --without-x
make && sudo make install
alias emacs='emacs -nw'
Or
unset DISPLAY
