Package: singular-ui-emacs
Version: 1:4.1.1-p2+ds-3
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
When running ESingular and its Emacs load file is missing, the
following error message occurs:
Error: Can't find emacs load file for Singular mode.
Expected it at /usr/bin/../share/singular/emacs/.emacs-singular
Specify with --emacs_load option,
or set ESINGULAR_EMACS_LOAD environment variable,
or put file '.emacs-singular' in your home directory.
Use `ESingular --help' for a complete list of options
This error message mentions the option "--emacs_load", which
doesn't exist. It is neamed "--emacs-load" instead.
It would be great if this error message was fixed.
As a side node, it wouldn't harm to run "realpath" over the
directory name, so that the error message points to
"/usr/share/singular/emacs/" rather than
"/usr/bin/../share/singular/emacs/".
Regards,
Volker
