Regexp error?

[adenchfi]

Hi, Fresh install of AUCTeX and bibretrieve. Upon compile of BibRetrieve, I got some errors about wrong number of arguments to some killbuffer command. Ignoring it, I now get errors on the regexp part:

Wrong number of arguments: #[(regexp &optional internal-too) "Å Æ^X\211^Y\205:^@ @^PÇ^H!\211^Z\2031^@ È\230\2041^@^K\204&^@ ÉHÊU\2041^@Ë^L "\2031^@Ì^H!\210) A\211^Q\204 ^@Æ*\207" [buffer --dolist-tail-- name internal-too regexp buffer-list nil buffer-name "" 0 ...] 4 1800778 "sKill buffers matching this regular
expression: P"], 3

Bibretrieve doesn't seem to work on my work machine, though it seemed fine on my laptop, weirdly enough. EDIT: now it seems to complete the command, but the error still results after, which is workable I suppose. I think it may be the kill buffer command. Here's a better error traceback:

The function kill-matching-buffers gained a 3rd argument in Emacs 26, I believe, that allows to kill without confirmation. Probably Emacs on your work machine is old.

Interesting. Is there an easy fix I can do myself? I don't have sudo privileges on my machine, and I tried removing the third argument from the kill-buffers call to no avail

Have you looked at documentation for kill-matching-buffers on your machine (with C-h f)?

Also seem to be having this issue. M-x bibretrieve, then input author and title, and get back Wrong number of arguments: (1 . 2), 3. Am I understanding correctly that the fix is to upgrade Emacs to version 26?

This error does not affect the main functionality and can be safely ignored. The only possible consequence is that temporary buffers are not killed.

[godfrey-cw]

Okay, I will safely ignore then!
