Hi Emacs experts ! Recently I moved to emacs version 22.1 from 21.3.1. Here I see that the dired mode is not working properly for me. If I want to go one directory up, I type "^' or click or hit enter on ".." . However in emacs 22.1 I am getting the following error "wrong type of arguement: number-or-marker-p (9543)" for both the cases.
Is there any apecial settings I need to do for emacs 22.1 ? Thanks in advance !! Suman Nandan.
I have also recently migrated from 21.3 to 22.1 but I can't replicate your problem. Both ^ and clicking on .. work for me. I don't understand the nature of the OBJECT expected by (number-or-marker-p) [or the curiously named (markerp {no hyphen}). Both seem to need function arguments. I would expect (number-or-marker-p 9543) to return t and it does! How did 9543 get into parentheses? Using argument (9543) doesn't return nil but "invalid function." Lose your .emacs temporarily {
runemacs -Q -q } and see if you still have the problem. Ed, no expert.
