M-x package-install
projectile
Projectile got installed successfully in ~/.emacs.d/elpa/projectile-20150201.1134/*.el
then added (projectile-global-mode) to .emacs, but on restarting emacs, it cries foul as,
Symbol's function definition is void: projectile-global-mode
I can add projectile installed folder to load-path, but why doesn't emacs load its melpa installed packages automatically?
It seems that projectile didn't load at the time you call (projectile-global-mode). I suspect that you missed (package-initialize) or (projectile-global-mode) comes before (package-initialize) in your .emacs file.
Perhaps you want to check your .emacs file to ensure the order.
(package-initialize)

I'm trying to install org-checklist for spacemacs but I'm having some difficulties. On the project documentation (https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-checklist.html) it says enable the org contrib directory but when I run M-x find-library RET org-contribdir it says the contrib directory is deprecated. When I try installing org-plus-contrib with package-list-packages, nothing happens.
How to untick checkboxes in org-mode for the next cyclic/repetitive task - This stack overflow question says I should download the org-checklist.el file but I can't find it anywhere. If anyone knows how to set up org-checklist or a viable alternative, I'd be really grateful
org-checklist.el is part of org-plus-contrib. You should be able to install it with package-manager: it is available from orgmode.org, so you have to add (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "https://orgmode.org/elpa/") t) to your list of archives.
Starting from emacs -q I was able to install it after evaluating these lines:
(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "https://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)
in the *scratch* buffer. Invoking package-list-packages showed org-plus-conrib as an available package and ix installed it (after I confirmed that I wanted to install it).
I was then able to load org-checklist with M-x load-library RET org-checklist RET.
Alternatively, you can just download the file from here and save it in some place that is found in your emacs's load-path, then say (require 'org-checklist).
Hope this helps.
I just installed the emacs package dired-details from inside emacs via
M-x package-list-packages
clicked on the package name and then install in the newly opened buffer.
Then I put those lines into my .emacs:
(require 'dired-details)
(setq-default dired-details-hidden-string ">---< ")
(dired-details-install)
When I restart emacs, I get the following error:
File error: Cannot open load file, dired-details
The interesting thing is, that when I mark the code region above and apply
M-x eval-region
everything works as expected.
emacs --version
>> GNU Emacs 24.3.1
package version:
dired-details-20130328.1119
Packages you installed with package.el need to be initialized if you want to access them during emacs initialization.
Add the line
(package-initialize)
to the very beginning of your .emacs .
Also follow phil's recommendation and see the variable
package-enable-at-startup
I receive this message every time I start emacs
Emacs 24.2

yasnippet 0.8.0 installed with package-list
If there is a way to fix it ?
yasnippet doesn't get initialised automatically when installed with elpa, which I find unconventional. You still need to add the yasnippet directory into your load-path.
Here is my set up in my .emacs
;; yasnippet
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/elpa/yasnippet-0.8.0")
(require 'yasnippet)
(setq yas-snippet-dirs '("~/.emacs.d/elpa/yasnippet-0.8.0/snippets" "~/Dropbox/Applications/Customise/emacs/myyassnipets"))
(yas-global-mode 1)
This is the sort of message I would expect to see if you're calling load or load-file in your init.el with a bad path. Look for any uses of those functions and correct the path if you can.
If this is in code you control, you probably want to call (require 'yasnippet) instead of directly loading the file.
I'm trying to install this:
https://github.com/technomancy/emacs-starter-kit
I put the following into my ~/.emacs.d/init.el file:
(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
'("marmalade" . "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/"))
(package-initialize)
I then go to run M-x eval-buffer and am told "Cannot open load file: package"
Any idea how I can get around this? I'm unsure what's wrong, but for what it's worth, there was previously no init.el file and my .emacs file doesnt exist either.
The package.el used by emacs-starter-kit is for emacs 24.
There's the package.el file available for the emacs 23 :
here
You should replace the package.el file
I'm trying to use slime from CVS (2009-01-05) but keep getting this error:
LOAD: A file with name
/usr/share/common-lisp/source/slime/swank-loader.lisp does not exist
I've stripped my .emacs down to just:
(setq inferior-lisp-program "/usr/bin/clisp")
(add-to-list 'load-path "/home/ssm/lisp/slime/")
(require 'slime)
(slime-setup)
I've deleted my ~/.slime directory, started with 'emacs -q' and eval'd the above code but I keep getting the LOAD error when I run slime (via M-x slime). Any ideas on how to fix this error?
FWIW, I've tried to install slime via apt-get but I keep getting errors there too about cl-swank being broken. That's a whole different story.
Have you purged the slime pkg you installed via apt-get? It looks like emacs is still reading the old site-specific configuration setup by apt-get. Try starting emacs with the -Q option, which prevents loading of site-specific (as well as user specific) customization, and see if the problem still occur.
I agree with huaiyuan that older files may be being picked up.
Try (load-file "/path/to/slime.el") instead of require. (You did remove the .elc files from your old versions, right? emacs will load from .elc files in preference to .el files, even when the .el is newer.)
The next thing to try is M-x customize-variable slime-backend and setting that to the absolute path of swank-loader.lisp. I think that will fix it for sure, but I am not sure why it doesn't work to begin with.
Thanks guys, ~/.emacs:
(setq inferior-lisp-program "<path-to-lisp-compiler>/bin/lisp")
(setq slime-backend "<path-to-slime>/swank-loader.lisp")
(add-to-list 'load-path "<path-to-slime>/")
;;(require 'slime)
(load-file "<path-to-slime>/slime.el")
;;(slime-setup)
(slime-setup '(slime-fancy))
works :)
