But I really really doubt that is the issue.
You can try by escalating priviledges with develsh, after devel-su and see how that changes stuff

Of course you are right, it is not EXACTLY the same error message, sorry: actually now it complains about permissions in »./usr/local/share/info« (Operation not permitted) instead of ...share/applications...

did you try
devel-su
develsh

This worked, thanks.

I had to start with:

/usr/local/bin/emacs-24.3 -nw

looks ok, will try a little using fingerterm

Thanks very much!

Now, you should probably add /usr/local/bin to your PATH and alias emacs='emacs -nw'

edit ~/.profile and add

Code:

 
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
alias emacs='emacs -nw'

Thanks a lot for the great work, it installed now without any problems.

I tried running emacs with fingerterm and I have see a warning in the terminal after closing it:

Code:

# /usr/local/bin/emacs-24.3 -nw
Warning: arch-dependent data dir (/usr/local/libexec/emacs/24.3/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf/) does not exist.

I have not yet seen any misbehavior because of that yet. Do you know the reason for this warning and what to do about it?

Probably a cross-compiler issue, creating that dir.
I didnt experience any issues with this, and since this was a quickie just to try

I didnt investigate much.
Probably it will disappear if you create that directory - but, for me, thats a minor-

Thanks, I created the directory as root and gave all users allowance to write to it - the warning disappeared.

So, how did this work for you - look at this thread for previous issues, eg, can you open folders as well as files (perhaps even use LISP

) ?

Everything I have tried, like opening org files, running calc, browsing folders, and running some LISP code worked fine.

Thanks a lot again making this possible.

I can confirm that everything I need and tried works. Most disturbing have been floating-point errors with date calculations and or other functions in org-mode...does not seem to be the case any more...so it seems fully functional, as far as the probably rather trivial lisp code in my .emacs is concerned
Thanks again
