I have installed the following elisp code and am having some trouble getting them to work. The packages are: man+ by aks@hub.ucsb.edu version of 17 May 90 info by zmacx09@??? version 1.4 on 21 May 90 ange-ftp by ange@hplb.hpl.hp.com version 3.72 on 11 Jan 91 I have kept them standard and only have changed some variables in my .emacs. The variable changes are listed below: (require 'ange-ftp) (require 'info) (require 'man+) (setq Manual-directory-list (cons (expand-file-name "~/doc/man") (expand-file-name "/usr/man"))) (setq Info-directory-list (cons (expand-file-name "~/lib/emacs_info_files") (expand-file-name "/usr/lib/emacs/info"))) I get the following errors when I try and use these packages: on man+ when I enter the TOPIC I get: wrong type argument: listp, "/usr/man" on info, when I try and invoke info from help (C-hi) I get: wrong type argument: listp, "/usr/lib/emacs/info" when I try and use ange-ftp to edit a file (say /etc/motd on thor.acc) with C-xC-f /swansonc@thor.acc/etc/motd I get the following error: file not found and directory doen't exist. I'm sure these are just stupid errors, but I have not had the time to go poke around and find them. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it. Since these are rather specific errors, please respond w/ e-mail. If anyone wants a copy of the responses, just let me know.
