Title: missing directory in emacs24
Post by: kevinfish on January 29, 2016, 10:14:05 AM: 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?

Post by: kevinfish on January 29, 2016, 10:27:45 AM: 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?

Same issue in dCore-jessie, simple fix:
Code: [Select]
sudo mkdir /etc/emacs24 sudo cp -rf /etc/emacs/* /etc/emacs24/ emacs24 # should run fine now
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
