HELP

[tdblocks]

After downloading emacs following http://eschulte.github.io/emacs24-starter-kit/#emacs-lisp-package-archive, I now want to enable Melpa.

The below is what I typed into an org document under the directory emacs.d : #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (require 'package) (add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "http://melpa.org/packages/") t) #+END_SRC

upon typing C-c C-c, I get the response "Wrong type argument: listp, "http://melpa.org/packages/"

What am I doing wrong??? I'd greatly appreciate any help offered.

After restarting Emacs, I am getting this new message when repeating the above steps:

"Symbol's value as variable is void: package-archives"

You may want to try opening an issue at https://github.com/melpa/melpa instead.

https://github.com/melpa/melpa#usage says how to enable melpa. Make a file named init.el under .emacs.d directory, and put that code in it.
