"confmacs select" breaks when .emacs.d not present

Open wallacewinfrey opened this issue 9 years ago • 5 comments

Had to do a fresh install on my MBP running OSX Yosemite. Had no previous .emacs.d folder created. Here's the output of confmacs select when .emacs.d does not exist:

confmacs select spacemacs
~/.emacs.d will be deleted and replaced with a symlink.
Do you want to proceed? (Y/N)

Well that is odd, it works fine on both my Linux desktop and laptop. What are the permissions for your home directory?

Just tried Confmacs on a Macbook running Yosemite and I haven't run into the same problem.

Yeah, I dunno. I tried it with the system ruby/gem as well before using the rbenv-managed version, and got the same output. I'll try doing a confmacs init with dtruss when I get a moment.

Sweet, I'll do the same on the Macbook I have. :+1:
