missing directory in emacs24

(1/2) > >>

kevinfish:
Hi, I don't know if this is the right place to report this, but when I installed emacs24 and tried to run it, it gives me the error message:

Opening directory: no such file or directory, /etc/emacs24/site-start.d

Is there a missing dependency or what?

kevinfish:
FYI

/etc/emacs/site-start.d does exist on my system

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root  60 Jan 27 15:05 site-start.d

but not /etc/emacs24/site-start.d

What is the most canonical way to fix it?

Hi kevinfish.

Same issue in dCore-jessie, simple fix:

--- Code: ---sudo mkdir /etc/emacs24
sudo cp -rf /etc/emacs/* /etc/emacs24/
emacs24 # should run fine now

--- End code ---

Jason may provide a custom start-up script.

In the meantime add /etc/emacs24/ directory to your backup via Control Panel -> Backup -> Add Directory
...or just add this entry in /opt/.filetool.lst: etc/emacs24/ (no preceding slash)

If the dbus errors bother you or you need this functionality, then install: dbus-x11.sce

Jason W:
emacs24 works out of the box on dCore-wily for some reason without that directory.  But I added a startup script based on the one posted above so it should work across all dCores now.  I will test with dCore-jessie.

Jason W:
Please test now that startup script hast been added and confirm fix, thanks.
