Thank you, I added the trailing slash but I am still getting the same error when trying to download the mepla archive. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Hi milkypostman , here's the error after setting debug-on-error. Emacs version But for some reason it works with emacs Debugger entered--Lisp error: error "Could not create connection to melpa. Are you maybe on Windows? My guess is that The error indicates that your Emacs I am using emacs I had a similar issue on Win7 and this answer from StackExchange helped me.

In short, you have to download compiled Windows GnuTLS libraries and dependencies from here and unzip it to the emacs folder. Get emacsideps. For me, since I was using Emacs Stack Overflow for Teams — Collaborate and share knowledge with a private group.

Your pasted config snippet above is not the one we suggest. Thanks for find-library -- mine says it can't find, but that's presumably because I'm using a package rather than downloading and building from source!

I'll drop the tromey archive. I've changed the other code somewhat; it's still not the same as what your page suggests, but it should accomplish the same thing. Anyway, I still think package. Ah yes, I see that the config snippet suggested at the link I included above has diverged from that on our "Getting Started" page. The former already does as you suggest, and is the one to use. The use of apostrophe before the second quotes that entire form, including concat , which I think would result in a non-string in the cdr position.

If you don't include it, then Emacs will decide for itself when to call it, which tends to be unpredictable. Fun fact: it used to be the case that Emacs would look at your init file and if it didn't look like you were calling it, it would call it for you.

It might even still work like that. The file does call package-initialize , but much later after that snippet, which I scoped down to focus on just the building of package-archives. Skip to content. Star 2. New issue.
