idlwave mode for emacs/xemacs? [message #16442] Tue, 27 July 1999 00:00

Hi,

Does anyone out there use idlwave mode for emacs/xemacs? I downloaded
the .el files from Carsten Dominik's page at
http://strw.leidenuniv.nl/~dominik/Tools/idlwave/, but I haven't been
able to get it to work. Specifically, when I try to go to idlwave mode,
I get the error "Symbol's function definition is void: eval-after-load",
which I assume comes from the following piece of idlwave.el:

;; Here we kack func-menu.el in order to support this new mode.
;; The latest versions of func-menu.el already have this stuff in, so
;; we hack only if it is not already there.
(eval-after-load "func-menu"
'(progn
(or (assq 'idlwave-mode fume-function-name-regexp-alist)
(setq fume-function-name-regexp-alist
(cons '(idlwave-mode . fume-function-name-regexp-idl)
fume-function-name-regexp-alist)))
(or (assq 'idlwave-mode fume-find-function-name-method-alist)
(setq fume-find-function-name-method-alist
(cons '(idlwave-mode . fume-find-next-idl-function-name)
fume-find-function-name-method-alist)))))

I've tried commenting this bit out, but get new problems instead.

So has anyone got this package to work? I am *not* an elisp expert, in
case that wasn't immediately obvious.

Thanks,
Kristine

Me again,

Actually, my problem seems to be with xemacs; I just tried using
idlwave-mode with emacs (version 19.34.1), and it seems fine (it also
has the function eval-after-load, unlike my version of xemacs.) But I
miss the pretty colours.

Hi Martin,

Yes, I'm pretty sure I've followed the instructions correctly, and I
made the additions to my .emacs file.

I notice that you're using emacs 20.3, whereas I'm using 20.0. When I
look for the function mentioned in the error message I'm getting
(void-function eval-after-load) in "Look up Emacs Lisp function", I
notice that eval-after-load isn't there. Perhaps my problems are
because my version of emacs is too old and missing some things?

thanks,
Kristine
