I recently upgrade my Macbook Air to MacOS Ventura 13.1. I also updated X-Code, command line tools, brew (upgrade and update). Now I'm experiencing issues with my .emacs.d/init.el and .emacs.d/common.el at the point it's trying to set up helm-projectile.
It seems like the error reported above was somewhat common around 2014 era, but here we are in the brand-spanking new 2023 year, and I'm trying to understand this enough to fix it.
My .emacs.d/init.el file in full:
;;; -*- emacs-lisp -*-
(setq default-frame-alist '((width . 200) (height . 70) (menu-bar-lines . 1)))
(setq inhibit-startup-message t)
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/.emacs.d/extras/"))
(require 'package)
(setq package-enable-at-startup nil)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
'("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/"))
(package-initialize)
(unless (package-installed-p 'use-package) (package-refresh-contents) (package-install 'use-package))
(setq common-file (expand-file-name "~/.emacs.d/common.org"))
(setq local-settings-file (expand-file-name "~/.emacs.d/local-settings.org"))
(setq local-file (expand-file-name "~/.emacs.d/local.org"))
;;; local settings that need to be set *before* the common stuff
(if (file-exists-p local-settings-file)
(org-babel-load-file local-settings-file)
nil)
(org-babel-load-file common-file)
;;; local stuff that can come after the common stuff
(if (file-exists-p local-file)
(org-babel-load-file local-file)
nil)
The problem occurs around line (require 'helm-config):
(use-package helm-projectile
:ensure t
:config
(require 'helm)
(require 'helm-config)
(define-key helm-map (kbd "C-z") 'helm-select-action)
