Subject: Re: Success installing emacs-w3m with Aquamacs?

hi,

i am not sure if this is the answer you're looking for, but if you can alias the name 'emacs' to aquamacs emacs by putting the following line in your .bashrc file


alias emacs='open -a /Applications/Aquamacs\ Emacs.app'


then it will call aquamacs instead of emacs. i am not sure if this will solve your problem, but it might be worth a try. hopefully someone else can offer you a better answer here.

Greetings,

I am very new to Emacs and would appreciate some advice on a topic that doesn't appear to have been resolved, at least not where I've looked. I am attempting to install emacs-w3m 1.4.4 on my MacBook that is running 10.4.10. My version of Aquamacs is 22.1.1. I have already installed w3m using Fink (it seems to be successful since I can invoke it from Terminal or shell). Here's what I've tried so far.

1. Installing emacs-w3m from Fink. While the install is successful I cannot actually make use of the install in the /sw directory because Fink compiles it for an earlier version of Emacs in a different location. I think it was looking for the version of Emacs that Fink will install when you install emacs-w3m through Fink. It is my intention to continue to use Aquamacs if at all possible.

2. Tried following directions in emacs-w3m README file to configure, make and install myself. This didn't work either as it also looked for an earlier version of Emacs. I'm not very proficient at reading CONFIG, MAKE or INSTALL files but I didn't see any opportunities to change the default value from emacs=EMACS to emacs=/Applications/Aquamacs\ Emacs.app/

I've attempted some variations on the above with no success. I have received some good advice elsewhere but nothing to conquer this. I would like to be able to read email, news and perhaps even use some of g-client's features but this seems to require that I have emacs-w3m.

If you have kind and helpful advice I would appreciate it. If I can clarify anything I would be glad to.

Regards,

Will
