What is the best way to turn off flymake? I'm tired of always getting
this error:
symbol's value as variable is void: flymake-mode

This error does not indicate that flymake-mode is enabled, but that some
code somewhere checks whether flymake-mode is enabled, whereas
flymake-mode seems not to be even loaded.
If you enable "Options => Enter Debugger on Error", maybe you'll get
a backtrace that will help you find the culprit.

I don't think flymake is enabled by default.

You must have some add-hook related to flymake somewhere (maybe in your .emacs?).

Does the problem go away if you start emacs with: emacs -q?
