Hi Mark,
After running:
apt-get install emacs25-el
I get another error:
While compiling erlang-edoc-xml-context in file
/usr/share/xemacs21/site-lisp/erlang/erlang-edoc.el:
!! File error (("Cannot open load file" "xmltok"))
According to apt-file, xmltok is in emacs25-el and should be already
installed:
emacs25-common: /usr/share/emacs/25.1/lisp/nxml/xmltok.elc
emacs25-el: /usr/share/emacs/25.1/lisp/nxml/xmltok.el.gz
Cheers,
Remy
