I'm trying to install common lisp on an Ubuntu system with no success so far . I'm newbie in emacs and linux . I tried using lispbox by downloading the tar ball and running sh lispbox.sh command but the shell reports Bad substitution error . What I need is step-by-step instruction on how to get common lisp running with emacs so that I can start programming .
Use your package manager to install SBCL (Steel Bank Common Lisp).
Download Quicklisp from http://quicklisp.org. There are complete instructions there, but I shall try to filter the important steps:
Run sbcl --load "quicklisp.lisp".
At the SBCL prompt, run (quicklisp-quickstart:install).
At the SBCL prompt, run (ql:add-to-init-file) (press Enter to confirm).
At the SBCL prompt, run (ql:quickload "quicklisp-slime-helper"). This will create a file that you can load in your .emacs to setup Slime.
Now you can open your Emacs, do M-x slime and hack away. Be sure to read the documentation for Quicklisp and Slime.
go to https://portacle.github.io/ (a newer lispbox-like ready-to-use emacs/SLIME-sbcl-quicklisp system).
download and install it and start it following instructions there.
For ubuntu 64 bit:
wget https://github.com/portacle/portacle/releases/download/1.2b/lin-portacle.tar.xz
tar xJf lin-portacle.tar.xz
cd portacle
./portacle.run
# enjoy :)
Minimal set of commands needed to program common lisp in SLIME by me

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 am working on a server which uses a really old emacs. The only way to install plugins is by downloading the .el files and adding them to the ~/.emacs/ folder and then sourcing it from the main .emacs file. Would someone know of a C/C++ autocomplete plugin which works with Emacs 21? I tried auto-complete-mode but I get an error.
An error has occurred while loading `/home/sbhalla/.emacs':
Symbol's function definition is void: defvaralias
The same auto-complete-mode works fine on emacs 22.
You might be able to run Emacs 24 without root access:
Download and untar Emacs 24: http://gnu.mirror.iweb.com/emacs/emacs-24.5.tar.gz
./configure && make. It may tell you to disable some options, e.g. I had to compile ./configure --without-jpg --without-png
You should be able to run ./src/emacs
I've done this to get the latest version of Emacs on university machines without sudo access, so it could probably work for you too.
I want autocompletion and refactoring in emacs with python.
I gather that I need rope to do this. To do this with emacs, I need ropemacs. Ropmacs depends on pymacs.
Pymacs is hard to install...or at least the instructions are not clear to me.
Do I need to do two things? Install pymacs and then install a file that tells emacs to talk to pymacs? I've already installed rope and ropemacs super easily, with
pip install rope ropemacs
Here's what I did:
pip install -e "git+https://github.com/pinard/Pymacs.git#egg=Pymacs"
This installs ok on mac os x mountain lion according to PIP.
But I have a feeling that I am not done--or am I?
How do I test to see if pymacs and rope and ropemacs are all working?
I think the easiest way to install ropemacs is to use el-get: M-x el-get-install ropemacs. It installs and build Pymacs, rope and ropemacs. I know that it works on Linux. See the el-get document for more information. (disclaimer: I wrote the installation recipe for el-get so obviously I am biased to my solution)
The difference from the solution using pip is that it setups the Emacs side of Pymacs correctly.
Installation section of Pymacs manual is fairly straightforward — don't be afraid to refer to it if unsure. Below are the steps to install Pymacs in Emacs 24. First, in shell, run:
sudo pip install rope ropemacs
After that in Emacs install Elisp side of Pymacs by adding Marmalade repository and then running package-install pymacs. As of February 2014 you can't install Pymacs via pip, therefore:
git clone http://github.com/pinard/pymacs
cd pymacs
make check
sudo make install
make check ensures the prerequisites. sudo make install puts Pymacs module in Python local modules path, usually /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/. People generally frown upon make install, because if you lose the Makefile, it can become hard to cleanly uninstall. But you shouldn't fear it, as pip uses the same directory, so pip uninstall pymacs will work.
In ~/.emacs.d/init.el put:
;; Pymacs
(autoload 'pymacs-apply "pymacs")
(autoload 'pymacs-call "pymacs")
(autoload 'pymacs-eval "pymacs" nil t)
(autoload 'pymacs-exec "pymacs" nil t)
(autoload 'pymacs-load "pymacs" nil t)
(autoload 'pymacs-autoload "pymacs")
Evaluate this with eval-region and try running Python expressions with pymacs-eval. You're good to go.
clone pymacs github, go to folder and proceed tutorial from author. http://pymacs.progiciels-bpi.ca/pymacs.html is now offline, if still so see tutorial at https://web.archive.org/web/20130627154513/http://pymacs.progiciels-bpi.ca/pymacs.html . Look at chapter "2.4) Install the Pymacs proper" and "2.5 Prepare your .emacs file". Chapters are small, have testing and recomendations for windows user.
I'm trying to get JSHint to work with Flymake.
jshint is indeed installed in /opt/bin and works. /opt/bin is in Emacs' exec-path.
I've followed the directions on the EmacsWiki and have this in my init.el:
(defun flymake-jshint-init ()
(let* ((temp-file (flymake-init-create-temp-buffer-copy
'flymake-create-temp-inplace))
(local-file (file-relative-name
temp-file
(file-name-directory buffer-file-name))))
(list "jshint" (list local-file))))
(setq flymake-err-line-patterns
(cons '("^ [[:digit:]]+ \\([[:digit:]]+\\),\\([[:digit:]]+\\): \\(.+\\)$"
nil 1 2 3)
flymake-err-line-patterns))
(add-to-list 'flymake-allowed-file-name-masks
'("\\.js\\'" flymake-jshint-init))
When I open JavaScript files, my modeline appears as:
[(Javascript Flymake* AC)]
This is odd because the * usually doesn't appear when I'm using Flymake with C++ or Python. According to the Flymake docs, Flymake* means "Flymake is currently running." However, Flymake isn't showing any errors.
I've checked the *Messages* buffer but it only lists a few lines of Fontifying foo.js... (regexps...................). No errors.
Other suggestions?
Try using M-: to execute (setq flymake-log-level 3), which will cause flymake to print debug info into *Messages*.
Here's how I use flymake with jslint, which works nicely for me -- that code might give you a clue about what's going wrong for you.
You might also consider js2-mode, which provides some language-aware lint-like warnings without resorting to running an external process.
I found a project called jshint-mode and tried that. It created a buffer called *jshint-mode* which revealed the error: JSHint couldn't find the formidable module.
I ran M-x setenv in Emacs to set NODE_PATH so that jshint could find the formidable library. I also set NODE_PATH in /etc/profile.
jshint-mode did not work for me (I use Linux Mint 14 'Nadia') -- I was getting errors with "flymake's configuration" when it runs curl to talk to the Node.js instance running the jshint script. This was perplexing, and I'm not familiar with ELisp to go around messing with the .el files.
I solved this by instead going straight to the Emacs flymake project fork on github which now has support for jshint built-in (it needs to be installed as npm -g install jshint which in turn requires you to install npm and node.js if you haven't already). This made things work.
One more caveat: on my Linux box, node was an executable already existing in /usr/sbin and I had to make a symbolic link named node in /usr/local/bin to override the former. This was necessary as the Node.js binary for Linux Mint (possibly Ubuntu as well, I haven't checked) is named nodejs instead and will cause many scripts written assuming a binary name of node to fail. You can test this by typing node: if it is the pre-existing binary it generally returns to the prompt silently, but if it is Node.js it prompts you with a > (you can Ctrl-D to quit out of there)
I just downloaded Emacs and Cygwin for Windows(Vista in my case). Have no idea how to set them up.
Any help would be appreciated !
Thanks !
I use these libraries, in this order:
(require 'cygwin-mount)
(require 'setup-cygwin)
They are both available on EmacsWiki:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/cygwin-mount.el
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/setup-cygwin.el
Step 1: Install libraries
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/cygwin-mount.el
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/setup-cygwin.el
Step 2: Install cygwin to C:\cygwin (This requirement is hardcoded in setup-cygwin.el, so just do it unless you are willing to modify setup-cygwin.el).
Step 3: Add following code into your .emacs or .emacs.d/init.el. Please note the variable cygwin-mount-cygwin-bin-directory is not set by default in cygwin-mount.el, I suggest using hard coded path (I mean "c:/cygwin/bin" actually) since the cygwin install path is already hardcoded by setup-cygwin.el.
(setq *win32* (eq system-type 'windows-nt) )
;; win32 auto configuration, assuming that cygwin is installed at "c:/cygwin"
(if *win32*
(progn
(setq cygwin-mount-cygwin-bin-directory "c:/cygwin/bin")
(require 'setup-cygwin)
;(setenv "HOME" "c:/cygwin/home/someuser") ;; better to set HOME env in GUI
))
Maybe try posting your question on http://superuser.com

Use cygwin-mount.el to integrate Cygwin with Emacs:
http://www.khngai.com/emacs/cygwin.php
You might also want to replace the DOS Shell with the Cygwin bash, that's also covered.
You can find instructions here.
There're several way to integrate emacs with cygwin as follows:
emacs-nox under cygwin. Not attractive!
emacs-X11 under cygwin. An X server is needed like XMing or Cygwin/X. A bit slow and heavy.
emacs-w32 under cygwin.
emacs under windows. You need some configuration to make emacs recognize the cygwin environment. Difficult for beginners.
I'd recommend using emacs-w32 with cygwin, which uses native Windows GUI so that you don't have to start an xserver just to run emacs and you don't need to write/download any tricky code to make emacs aware of cygwin env as other answers do.
Just install emacs-w32 and run it from mintty and here you go. FYI, if you want to start emacs "independently", write a .bat file with D:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe --login -i -c /usr/bin/emacs-w32.exe inside or, as I do, write a .ahk script to start emacs with hotkey F12.
