Erlang Mode in Emacs Is Very Handy.

erlang mode in emacs is very handy.

C-c C-k (erlang-compile) will start a erlang process in a separate windows and compile the script. I do not need to switch between editor and shell all the time now.

When I Start Up Emacs in Shell, I Got This Error Message:

When I start up emacs in shell, I got this error message:

1
Error in init file: Symbol's function definition is void: global-linum-mode

But my config file works fine with Aquamacs.

It turns out the stock emacs that comes with OSX is version 22.1.1. If I switch to emacs from brew, which is of version GNU Emacs 24.2.1, the error message goes away.
