Re: [ECB-list] Error when activating ECB

[Rob R. <bar...@gm...>]

Thanks, but it didn't work.

The ECB 2.40 version might be wrong, but it is the ecb from the zip file of
https://github.com/alexott/ecb - which is the only ecb I left in my
~/site-lisp/, as ecb-snap.  It seems to be finding the new version - C-h f
on ecb-directory-files goes to ~/site-lisp/ecb-common-browser.el, and the
help string says "Wrapper for directory-files that fixes the file name &
catch file errors".

Also, I had to remove the require ecb-autoloads from my ~/.emacs.el.  This
is with GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.9)  of
2012-03-01 on c6b18n3.bsys.dev.centos.org (CentOS 6)

Here's the error message:
