Could you go through it and tell me how to fix the error messages? >

Fistly. I hope you persist with this. I my opinion ECB is a great tool
and substantially increases productivity.

Second, this is just a guess, but do you have semantic installed? You
don't say that you installed it, and on my Debian setup I have to
install it separately from Emacs.

Third. Many people prefer to use character based newsreaders. Posting
very long lines like the line starting "When I start ..." above makes
them difficult to read. Please limit line length (eg to 70 or so
characters). I believe it is still standard netiquette to do so.

Best Regards and Good Luck
