I’m trying to install a package that uses global-linum-mode and keep getting:
error "Autoloading failed to define function global-linum-mode
I was using Emacs 23 and now upgraded to Emacs 24.1 on OSX, using this package:
However doing a (require 'linum) works but a subsequent (global-linum-mode 1) gives the same error.
To me it says that global-linum isn’t there but from what I’ve read it’s supposed to be there from Emacs 23.
That should be fine.
Possibly there’s another autoload declaration somewhere in your config which is clobbering the default one?
Or maybe you have another “linum.el” in your load-path? That would be a bad idea.
Does the same thing happen if you start Emacs with
emacs -Q?
