Re: How to get rid of stock (standard) speedbar if do not have root access?

[christopherbalz]

Previously, I had restarted Emacs many times and always got the same
error.  There were no changes to my configuration on the last restart.
But there was one significant difference -- the whole machine on which
Emacs was running was restarted.

I forgot to mention that in my most recent post.  And I used the JDE
all yesterday, with the speedbar, and saw  no error.  I don't know
exactly what had changed from before that made the difference, but it
looks like your solution worked.  Thanks very much.

Here is what I have in my .emacs file regarding loading the speedbar,
which apparently works well:

(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/emacs/site/jde/lisp"))
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/emacs/site/cedet/common"))
(load-file (expand-file-name "~/emacs/site/speedbar/sb-image.el")) ;;
Override stock, system speedbar.
(load-file (expand-file-name "~/emacs/site/speedbar/dframe.elc")) ;;
Override stock, system speedbar.
(load-file (expand-file-name "~/emacs/site/speedbar/speedbar.elc")) ;;
Override stock, system speedbar.
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/emacs/site/elib"))
;; Emacs Code Browser is an optional-element to the JDEE Suite:
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/emacs/site/ecb")
