I get this opening error from the messages buffer for 3-4 secs before
opening emacs proper:
An error has occurred while loading `/home/notbob/.emacs':
Symbol's value as variable is void: *
The offending line is no doubt this line of code in my .emacs file:
;;; Dired Settings
;setting for recursive dir delete from dired
(setq dired-recursive-deletes *)
I know there are several alternative options for the * setting, but I
want it to cover all files. Which other option might work and not
trigger the error message prior to opening emacs proper? Is there a
way to keep the * and not trigger the error?
Thank you
