[emacs-wiki-discuss] Error with dev version under GNU Emacs on Windows...

[Allen B. MacKenzie]

I'm sorry if this was already discussed on the list, but a brief search 
didn't turn anything up.

I have been running planner mode for several weeks now, and I have 
generally been very pleased.  I decided to move from the stable version 
to the dev version to try out planner-trunk, as recently discussed on 
the list.  When I run "plan" on the dev version, though,  I get the 
following error, "Symbol's function declaration is void: declare".

I am running GNU Emacs version 21.3.1 under Windows.

I usually run plan from my .emacs file.  If I startup emacs with the 
--debug-init option, then the debugger output is as follows, except that 
after the line that starts "#[nil" there is a bunch of other crap 
(unusual characters and escape codes) that didn't get copied.

Any assistance that you can provide is appreciated.  I knew some lisp 
once, but I'm pretty much at sea with any lisp, including elisp, at this 
point.
