Re: Problems installing emacs-w3m cont.



This is after removing emacs completely and doing a fresh install with 
~/.emacs.d/init.el specified below:

Compiling file /home/slaurel/.emacs.d/elpa/w3m-20201126.339/w3m-util.el at Thu Nov 26 09:10:28 2020

Compiling file /home/slaurel/.emacs.d/elpa/w3m-20201126.339/w3m-weather.el at Thu Nov 26 09:10:28 2020

Compiling file /home/slaurel/.emacs.d/elpa/w3m-20201126.339/w3m.el at Thu Nov 26 09:10:28 2020

Error (bytecomp): Cannot open load file: No such file or directory, mime-view
Error (bytecomp): Symbol’s value as variable is void: tabstop [14 times]
Warning (bytecomp): function w3m-tab-button-menu used to take 1 argument, now takes 2

I guess I'll just have to live with using w3m outside of emacs but I do 
appreciate evryone's assistance. Thank you.
