Or could this be a problem with babel? > Well, the backtrace is complaining about make-local-hook being an void function, and C-h f make-local-hook says: ,---- | make-local-hook is a compiled Lisp function in `subr.el'. | | (make-local-hook HOOK) | | This function is obsolete since 21.1; | not necessary any more. `---- so either you don't load subr.el (which sounds unlikely but who knows?) or the function has been deleted - maybe because it's been obsolete for such a long time: I just checked a recent build of emacs and it seems to be the latter. The backtrace also shows that gnuplot-make-gnuplot-buffer is the caller: ,---- | (defun gnuplot-make-gnuplot-buffer () | "Switch to the gnuplot program buffer or create one if none exists." | (or (and gnuplot-process (get-process gnuplot-process) | gnuplot-buffer (get-buffer gnuplot-buffer)) | (progn | (message "Starting gnuplot plotting program...") | (setq gnuplot-buffer (make-comint gnuplot-process-name gnuplot-program) | gnuplot-process (get-process gnuplot-process-name)) | (process-kill-without-query gnuplot-process nil) | (save-excursion | (set-buffer gnuplot-buffer) | (make-local-hook 'kill-buffer-hook) ;;<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< | (add-hook 'kill-buffer-hook 'gnuplot-close-down nil t) | (gnuplot-comint-start-function) | (make-local-variable 'comint-output-filter-functions) | (setq comint-output-filter-functions | (append comint-output-filter-functions | '(comint-postoutput-scroll-to-bottom | gnuplot-protect-prompt-fn))) | (message "Starting gnuplot plotting program...Done"))))) `---- but it calls add-hook with the LOCAL arg set to t, which does what make-local-hook used to do, so it is safe to just delete the marked line above. And don't forget to submit a bug report to the gnuplot.el people :-) Nick PS. OK, time for a second rant: If you *have* to use attachments, *please* take the time to make the MIME type correct. In particular, application/octet-stream is a last ditch default for machines: it's a "I don't know what to do - I'm throwing up my hands" response - perhaps OK for a machine, but never for a human. In particular, a backtrace attachment should be "text/plain" - as should be the case for an org file too: your earlier attachment of an org file was of type "application/vnd.lotus-organizer". Remember the motto: It's "Org-mode: your life in plain text", not "Org-mode: your life in lotus-organizer format" :-) _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
