I lost my installation of Dave Gillespie's calc.el by reinstalling Cygwin. It is not included with the default Cygwin install of Emacs. Who is considered the master maintainer these days? Is version 2.02f still most current?
In the Emacs CVS tree. See the calc page and the Emacs project page. The root of the calc subtree is here and you can get the latest version by typing
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous#cvs.sv.gnu.org:/sources/emacs co emacs/lisp/calc
Thanks to Jouni making it clear that GNU does maintain Emacs Calc, I have figured out that there is a Cygwin install of Emacs that does include Calc. The necessary step is forcing Cygwin Setup to install Emacs 22.1-3 instead of the default 21.2-13. I have sent a report to the cygwin#cygwin.com mailing list to get this repaired.

Recently I pass to Emacs org because is really convenient to me to write note there.
So I installed all packages I needed (principally ORG and EVIL) but I didn't understand how to setup everything.
I installed emacs from brew without using cask, I linked it, and I'm sure that I'm using the version that I installed (26.1).
So in my ~/ folder I have a .emacs file in which I set up evil mode, and I have a /.emacs.d/ in which I have a lot of file. The problem is: whatever I wrote in a ~/.emacs.d/init.el seems doesn't effect emacs.
So I said "whatever, I'm going on github and I installed some complete configurations and then I customized them myself". I tried to install these two configurations.

https://github.com/larstvei/dot-emacs?files=1
But for some reason, after doing exactly what they say on README.org
nothing happens.
In particular the second link, after install and open emacs said I need to have ~/.cask/.cask.el but I don't have it.
Advice?
I recently installed Arch, and the version of emacs that it has comes with an aggressive auto-completion feature that doesn't let me create a new file. It is also very annoying. How do I get rid of it?
I have Archlinux too, but it didn't come with emacs. I think that you have installed this module: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/AutoComplete
Check it, and if this is the case, uninstall the addition.
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).
After installing Emacs BBDB from Melpa on GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7601) for Windows, if I run M-x bbdb-version I get:
BBDB version #PACKAGE_VERSION# (#PACKAGE_DATE#)
How can I know if I am using the new version 3 of BBDB?
This is a known issue, the author uses a build system to define and replace these names with their correct values, but melpa does not support making changes to the upsteam repo.
The truth is, if you just downloaded it from melpa, then it is safe to say you are running version > 3. If you really want to be sure, do C-hfbbdb-with-print-loadably and see if that function is defined, it was added to bbdb in one of the most recent commits to the git repo and well past the last release commit of version 3.1.2.

I'm pretty new to emacs and I'm currently trying to configure it properly for my needs, but I can't make it load web-mode at all.
So, this is what I've done:
Downloaded web-mode.el from GitHub
Made sure the file is located in the correct directory: ~/.emacs.d/web-mode.el
Used the installation instructions from the official page
My .emacs file now looks like this
Issue:
When I'm trying to edit any of the file types specified in the .emacs file, it only runs the default modes. PHP Abbrev for PHP etc... I'm not receiving any error messages and when I'm running --debug-init it does not give any output.
Emacs version: GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.9) of 2012-03-01 on sl6.fnal.gov
OS: Scientific Linux
Does anyone know how I can troubleshoot this further, or have solved similar issues?
You should let el-get install it for you. El-get is a package manager for emacs. It can install packages from github, emacswiki, elpa, an url, … http://wikemacs.org/index.php/El-get
It's very handy, you can update scripts easily, it manages dependencies, it lets you discover many stuff, you can easily share your config accross machines, etc.
Emacs 24 has package.el or ELPA by default. One can install it on emacs 23, but my experience isn't conclusive so I'd advise sticking with el-get, which is great.
