Need help in upgrade from emacs 23.1 to 23.2
hap 497
i am using emacs 23.1 on ubuntu 10.04.
And after 23.2 release, i have download and compiled it under ubuntu 10.04.
But when I start emacs 23.2 (using the same .emacs file works for
emacs 23.1). I get the following error:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-number-of-arguments #[(&optional

Remove the second argument.
Stefan "Where does this second arg come from anyway?"

If you are replacing a ubuntu build of emacs with one you are building
yourself, there are some patches which need to be applied. In
particular, the startup.el file needs to be modified to include the
debian-flavor variable and the subsequent library load process needs to
be modified to use this information. There are other patches, but I find
just modifying the startup.el file works fine for a home built version.
What I do is grep startup.el from emacs 23.1 for the string debian. I
then modify the emacs 23.2 startup.el to include the same bits and then
do the build.

I have a recent install of Ubuntu 10.0.4 and found this PPA repository:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/portis25/ia32libs/ubuntu lucid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/portis25/ia32libs/ubuntu lucid main
this will install Emacs 24.0.50.1. I use this Emacs version every day
and have had no problems with it. You need to add the key, but that
is simple to do. Just Google for this repository and all the
necessary info can be easily found.
Best,

A very easy way to do this is with the do-apt-repository command. Just
specify the ppa on the command line and it will add it to your sources
list and download and install the GPG key. Note the convenient PPA
specification method.
