Ok, I decided to nuke ports, fink, and delete every package they ever installed. I successfully installed emacs 23.2 via homebrew (there's a good overview of homebrew here http://ascarter.net/2010/02/22/homebrew-for-os-x.html).
I started the emacs it installed, but I didn't know how to access the scratch buffer, so I started the tutorial. Exit worked (C-x C-c). Scroll forward did not (C-v). Needless to say, I couldn't complete the elpa instructions. Additionally, emacs pops up a new colorful window but keeps the terminal in place. That's not the behavior I personally want. Perhaps I will try installing without the --cocoa option. Also tried the elpa self-install script in Aquamacs (where the scratch buffer comes up first thing), but C-j (the 'eval' keystroke) had no discernible effect. I tried M-x package-list-packages but it said [No Match]. So I assume nothing happened. Sorry to say but I'm rather annoyed with emacs. I find futzing around with package managers and this stuff to be utterly exhausting. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
