Re: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] getting started

[Matt M <jun...@gm...>]

Okay thanks but ....  "I do not know what I'm doing," means that I cannot
follow the instructions in the "INSTALL" file.

Here is my attempt to do so:

1. In terminal --- make "LOADPATH=/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/cedet-common/
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/eieio/
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/semantic/bovine/
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/semantic/"

2a. In terminal --- sudo gedit /home/matt/.emacs

2b. Add the following two lines to ".emacs"

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/path/to/matlab_el")
(require 'matlab-load)

So that is what reading the "INSTALL" file got me to do.  I apparently did
not interpret it correctly, because ".m" files still look the same in Emacs,
i.e. no syntax highlighting etc.

Thanks for the response!
