Re: Absolute beginners problem with Preferences.el

Hi again.

I have now removed the (require 'pag-ged) line and then I tried to do
a load-file inside emacs of my Preferences.el and now my Erlang mode
works!
Current Preferences.el:
(setq load-path (cons  "/opt/local/lib/erlang/lib/tools-2.5.2/emacs"
                      load-path))
(setq erlang-root-dir "/opt/local/lib/erlang")
(setq exec-path (cons "/opt/local/bin" exec-path))
(require 'erlang-start)

So for some strange reason my ~/Library/Preferences/Aquamacs
Emacs/Preferences.el is not loaded at start-up... or?

Any clues?

Cheers,
Torben
