   Whenever I add:

       (require 'flymake-js)
       (add-hook 'javascript-mode-hook 'flymake-js-load)

   to my '.emacs' file and then 'eval-buffer', I get this error:

       append: Symbol's value as variable is void: compilation-error-
   regexp-alist-alist

i don't see flymake-js.el anywhere in the emacs source, so the
following is a guess, from studying (briefly) flymake.el:

the variable compilation-error-regexp-alist-alist is defined in
compile.el.  try adding (before the forms above):

(require 'compile)

long term it would probably be a good idea to see what
flymake-js.el offers that flymake.el doesn't and merge those
features into flymake.el.
