I am having some problems with nxhtml installation, I want my .php files to look better and I don't wanna go back to netbeans...

I have downloaded nxhtml and I created a folder called 'emacs-packages' where my .emacs is I added this line in my .emacs file :

(load "emacs-packages/nxhtml/autostart22.el")

whenever I try M-x nxhtml-mode I get [No Match] as an answer...

I also tried 

(load "emacs-packages/nxhtml/autostart.el")

and I get an error on startup but since my version is 22 I think the first one is more appropriate

are there any other packages I should install forst in order to use it? what am I doing wrong?

I am using Carbon emacs 22.3.1 on MacOs

thanks!

The only thing you need is 

(load "emacs-packages/nxhtml/autostart.el")

Try to specify the full path. Put the cursor on "emacs-packages/nxhtml/autostart.el" and call M-x ffap to see if it can do find-file-at-point.

  • thank you, it seems to find the file...so if the path is correct and it's the only thing needed why do I get [No Match] ? maybe I don't use it right?how would I make it work? – rabidmachine9 Feb 21 '11 at 21:11
  • I removed everything but this line (load "/usr/local/share/emacs/nxhtml/autostart.el") from my .emacs and it works. Try to do the same thing. Maybe you have some other package installed which prevents emacs from loading. Can you do M-x find-function nxhtml-mode ? – Oleg Pavliv Feb 21 '11 at 21:20
  • I can't even use find-function: "Possible completions are:" 1.find-function-at-point 2.find-function-on-key 3.find-function-other-frame 4.find-function-other-window – rabidmachine9 Feb 21 '11 at 22:28

Problem solved I just changed the load to load-file:

(load-file "emacs-packages/nxhtml/autostart.el")
