Subject: Acquamacs v 1.6 C-h f subseq reports function not found
Date: Sun, 25 Jan 2009 13:15:37 -0600

1) Updated Acquamacs from v 1.5 to 1.6 01/24/09 in PM in response to  
the notice on launch that a new version was available--I used the  
control key seq in the notification. My extensions had been working in  
1.5 for some time.

2) Launched Acquamacs today (01/25/09) and immediately obtained the  
message:

     An error has occurred while loading `/Users/deever/.emacs':

     Symbol's function definition is void: subseq

3) C-h f subseq showed that the function is indeed unknown to emacs

4) Commented out call to my extensions in the custom init file,  
relaunched, and again tried C-h f subseq with same results.

Emacs remained up and functioning (more or less -- see next comment in  
parens) during the error and I was able to continue to edit normally.

(This is my second attempt to send this bug report. The first, after  
4), failed, and I had to relaunch to perform this attempt.)

Something in your startup files is attempting to use the CL package
(which defines subseq) without requiring it. This is a problem with
your startup files, not with Emacs. (Also I believe Aquamacs has its
own bug list.)

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi William,

I get:
	"subseq is an autoloaded Lisp function in `cl-extra'."

that means, it is defined in `cl-extra'.
Does (require 'cl) at the top of your .emacs help?

This function is no longer available in standard Aquamacs.

Regarding the bug report?  Did you use the Help menu function?  That  
should always work.
Presumably you used M-x report-emacs-bug.

Best
- David
