Another similiar IDLWAVE question...<br>
<br>
the 'completion' possibilities should be one big advantage of idlwave,
however, I did not manage to make it work.<br>
<br>
when I try e.g. completion [M-TAB] on PRIN (for print)<br>
it says: no tags table loaded...<br>
if I try Complete special<br>
it says: using 'symbols value as variable is void:cl-builtin-gethash'<br>
<br>
what dis I wrong?<br>
<br>
<br>
Cheers dave<br>

Welcome to IDLWAVE. I assure you, soon enough you'll feel right at

What's happening here is that your system is trapping M-<tab> and
using it for its own nefarious purposes (like switching windows).
Emacs never sees it. You can try ESC-<Tab> instead. This is
equivalent, if a little cumbersome. A better solution is to
reconfigure your system so it doesn't trap M-<tab> any longer. Since
you didn't say if this was Windows, Linux, or something else, I can't
offer any more specific advice, but it might be easy enough to
accomplish.
Good luck,
JD

This is a common error if you recently upgraded your Emacs to Emacs 21.
Old Emacs (20.x) and new Emacs (21.x) are not "byte-compatible", such that
if you kept your old installation of IDLWAVE as-is, you'd encounter errors
like this. The easiest option is to reinstall IDLWAVE (see idlwave.org),
or re-compile the idlw*.el lisp files on your path using "M-x
byte-compile-file". A new version of IDLWAVE with a host of exciting
features should be coming out any day now.
