installing habitrpg.el in ergoemacs

Question

I am using ergoemacs for windows downloaded from http://ergoemacs.org/index.html. The version is as follows:

GNU Emacs 24.2.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7601) of 2012-08-29 on MARVIN ErgoEmacs distribution 2.0.0

When I install habitrpg.el (https://github.com/ryjm/habitrpg.el) as per the instruction I get the following error:

Symbol's function definition is void: cl-eval-when.

I tried commenting this instruction and I get again the same error for cl-defstruct. I believe this is got to do with the cl.el but I am not sure which alternative cl file I can use or if there is any other habitrpg.el i can use which is compatible with ErgoEmacs. Please do the needful and let me know if you need any more information regarding the same.

Answer 1

Indeed, there are 2 problems:

• habitrpg does (require 'cl) whereas it should do (require 'cl-lib). You should report that to the author.
• your Emacs doesn't come with cl-lib built-in, so you need to install it (which you can do from M-x package-list RET.
