Error in post-command-hook (global-eclim-mode-check-buffers): (void-function member-if)

[Heng Su]

Hi,

 It just doesn't work as I just want to try emacs-eclim after install via package-install

My init.el for Emacs 24.3.1.

(when (>= emacs-major-version 24)

  (require 'package)

  (add-to-list

   'package-archives

   '("melpa" . "http://melpa.org/packages/")

   t)

  (package-initialize))

(require 'eclim)

(global-eclim-mode)

the configuration initial progress seems fine, however, when I try to open any file. 

just throw error to me : Error in post-command-hook (global-eclim-mode-check-buffers): (void-function member-if)

Any hint?

Try finding where it tries to call member-if and change it to cl-member-if.

Cheers,

Hi Dave, 

   Thank you, I searched my .emacs.d/ela. I found one place 

elpa/emacs-eclim-20150502.516/eclim.el:  (if (member-if and I replaced with cl-member-if. However, still not working. 

   I am quite new , do you mean replace member-if in all plugins but not emacs itself right?

Hi Dave,

   I found the issue, actually I need recompile the emacs-eclim. Thank you so much!

Heng,

Great! I'm just an emacs amature. :)

At some time during the history of emacs, a bunch of elisp functions were renamed from `old-name` to `cl-old-name`.

The 'cl-' stands for common lisp. These functions were elisp implementations of common lisp functions. Now (emacs24?), they've all been grouped together under this cl- prefix.
