[Emacspeak] Re: installing on Mac osx

[Mohammed Alderweesh <alderweesh.m@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tim,

I used:

brew install -cask emacs

Then, I built emacspeak using:

make config

make emacspeak 

Then, I added the following to .emacs.el:

(load-file â??~/emacspeak/lisp/emacspeak-setup.elâ??)

 When I remove this line from the .emacs.el, emacs works normally. 

The version of emacs is 27.2 

When I use the command

Emacs

I get the error mentioned in the last email.

When I use the command:

emacspeak

I get command not found.

Thank you

Mohammed

How did you install Emacs? What version is it?

What is the exact command your running in the terminal to start emacsthe 

What do you have in your emacs init file?

This looks like a low level emacs error and not specific to emacspeak.
The error seems related to memory allocation. My guess is that the build
of emacs has not worked correctly.

Make sure your running a recent version of Emacs (macOS comes with a
very old version of Emacs which will not work with emacspeak).
