What do I do after installing csv-mode with elpa?

[bsamek]

I've installed csv-mode with 'M-x list-packages' and typing 'i x' at
csv-mode. It's now listed as installed. However, it's not available with
'M-x csv-mode'. Is there an ELPA-specific way of making an installed package
available that I'm missing? The variable package-enable-at-startup is t.

Looks like 1.5.0 (which is the version I get when installing csv-mode
from package.el) has a coding error. Unbalanced parens at line 1134.
My package install showed that with error text like:

Compiling file …/.emacs.d/elpa/csv-mode-1.50/csv-mode-pkg.el at
Sun May 12 14:58:58 2013
Entering directory `…/.emacs.d/elpa/csv-mode-1.50/'
Error: Unmatched bracket or quote

Which yours may or may not have done as well.

Anyway, this is after the mode definition in `csv-mode.el` so while
there's definitely something wrong with that file, I am still able to
find a `.csv` file and have it automatically load up csv mode.
Obviously functionality defined after the coding error will not work
as it won't have loaded.

Contact the maintainer or maybe open a patch up? Should be an easy fix.

Hope this points you down the right path!

Hmm... 1.5.0? 1.50? The one we have in GNU ELPA is 1.2.
Where did you get yours?

Looks like [Marmalade][1].

And, yep. 1.5.0 was a typo. :)

That looks like an old version. No idea why they chose such
a revision number.

Ah the joys of ELPA…

No response so far from the OP.

@bsamek: did you add marmalade to the list of repos as is suggested by
many of the `getting started with emacs` tutorials these days?

[bsamek]

I'm embarrassed to say that my problem was more trivial than that. I wasn't
copying the full forms to be evaluated from the installation lines in
csv-mode.el.

The GNU ELPA package does not require any such thing, since it's done as
part of installing the package (it's one of the reasons to use
a package manager).
