Re: [Geiser-users] Leaving the REPL-buffer: Warnings about coding systems

[Dr. Ludwig Meier]

Dear José, 

Cool, thank you really very much for your quick answer! Deleting 
~/.geiser_history.guile fixed the problem. Nonetheless you’ll find the 
requested information below, maybe it will be helpfull for your work 
some day. 

Cheers, 

Ludwig

Guile 2.0.5, as shipped by Ubuntu. 

Settings in .emacs-custom: 

 '(geiser-active-implementations (quote (guile))) 
 '(geiser-guile-load-init-file-p t) 
 '(geiser-mode-smart-tab-p nil) 
 '(geiser-repl-use-other-window nil) 


The error above usually makes the offending characters clickable and one

The characters are not clickable unfortunately. They seem to be 
escape-characters; but honestly speaking I do not understand what they 
are. "C-u C-x =" yields: 

Char: /303 (4194243, #o17777703, #x3fffc3, raw-byte) point=373 of 848 
(44%) column=34 

Char: /234 (4194204, #o17777634, #x3fff9c) point=375 of 848 (44%) column=39 


Does this happen in fresh new REPLs without any ouput, or only when

It happened in both cases. 


Does moving ~/.geiser_history.guile away fix the problem? (that's the
