#Install pdfinfo pdf

Maybe the pdf-tools package is also installed outside of nix, and this is conflicting. On my system it looks like this: pdf-info-epdfinfo-program is a variable defined in ‘pdf-info.el’. What is the value of pdf-info-epdfinfo-program? It should fall back to epdfinfo in the same directory as pdf-info.el: If epdfinfo exists in this directory, it should work. So I just want to get it to where pdf-tools will work. Installing this package should install and build epdfinfo, from poppler, according to this section in Nixpkgs, no?Īnd indeed, I seem to have a file nr0xzc92spcic1kwymv7nd5jcjs54p2w-emacs-packages-deps/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/pdf-tools-20200512.1524/epdfinfo.

#Install pdfinfo pdf

Summary: Support library for PDF documents. Status: External in ‘/nix/store/nr0xzc92spcic1kwymv7nd5jcjs54p2w-emacs-packages-deps/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/pdf-tools-20200512.1524/’ (unsigned). Amazingly, if I choose “n,” it still tries to build it.Įmacs apparently sees pdf-tools, from what I can tell, since describe-package pdf-tools gives this: Package pdf-tools is external. I noticed that I can get pdf-tools already compiled and in emacs by using emacsWithPackages: (emacsWithPackages (epkgs: (with lpaStablePackages [Īnd I added this to my config.el (although I’m not sure what it does or why I need it): Enables Nixos-installed packages to be loadedīut it doesn’t seem to take, since Emacs still complains: “Need to (re)build the epdfinfo program, do it now? (y or n)”. nix/store/qdp56fi357fgxxnkjrwx1g67hrk775im-bash-4.4-p23/bin/sh: /home/jon/.emacs.d/.local/straight/build-27.1/pdf-tools/build/server/autobuild: Permission denied

But then of course it fails with: /home/jon/.emacs.d/.local/straight/build-27.1/pdf-tools/build/server/autobuild -i /home/jon/.emacs.d/.local/straight/build-27.1/pdf-tools/ Pdf-tools is really annoying on Nixos, since if needs some binary and wants to build it. One of its modules is a PDF module, which uses the package pdf-tools.
