Nameclashes with gforth.el

Open ellerh opened this issue 9 years ago • 2 comments

I'm not sure if this is a real or only a percieved problem, but on Debian the gforth package installs gforth.el in /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/gforth. So it may not be wise to have another gforth.el somewhere else.

I did consider it, but then I though that temporarily putting the backend directory first in load-path would ensure that the right thing happened.

But certainly, if there's any problem, it should be changed.

Gforth's gforth.el provides a feature and autload for forth-mode, so that's also a clash.
