I just realized, that I have sent the message only to eric and not to
the list. Sorry for that here it is again:
Firstly: Thanks for your reply.
But what do I do about the doc/Project.ede "no such file" error? I
tried creating a project in the "doc" subdirectory (by visiting a file
in that directory and typing "M-x ede-new", but that fails. It says:
"Opening input file: no such file or directory,
/path_to_project/doc/Project.ede"
And when I try to even just open a file in the projects root directory,
it gives me the same error and does not open the file! (It works on a
second attempt).
