GNU Emacs-23.3.1 won't load CEDET-1.0

Question

I've just updated my emacs and recompliled in byte-code some of its extensions. I also have updated some packages like subversion via emacs-updater, as is suggested to me after update. But now i got

Symbol's value as variable is void: cedet-menu-map

There is more fun: if we cut the line loading cedet.el, ECB says

    error: ECB 2.40 - Error: ECB can only be used with 
cedet [1.0pre6, 1.0.9]! Please install it and restart Emacs!

Is there CEDET-1.0.9 anywhere? If it is, where it is?

OS: Gentoo

upd:

The use of packages app-emacs/ecb and app-emacs/cedet solved the problem.

Answer 1

Just change the version of CEDET in

<cedet_dir>/common/cedet.el 

to 1.0.9

Answer 2

Solved this by changing these lines in ecb-upgrade.el

from

(defconst ecb-required-cedet-version-min '(1 0 2 6)) 
(defconst ecb-required-cedet-version-max '(1 0 4 9))

to

(defconst ecb-required-cedet-version-min '(1 0 2 6))
(defconst ecb-required-cedet-version-max '(1 1 4 9))

from comments (pasted below) in code this fix seems to be a good one

Convert the version-str VER-STR to the internal version-list format with the following elements of the version-list: 1. Major-version 2. Minor-version 3. 0 = alpha, 1 = beta, 2 = pre, 3 = nothing (eg \"1.4\"), 4 =. (eg \"1.4.3\" 4. Subversion after the alpha, beta, pre or.

Answer 3

I have fixes for ECB + fresh CEDET, including CEDET included into Emacs. You can find more in following blog post (install manually from github), or you can install package from MELPA.

Answer 4

It seems ECB is currently unmaintained or in hiatus. In any case, it doesn't work with newer CEDET versions. A CEDET version 1.0.9 does not exist.

Regarding your problem with loading CEDET with Emacs 23.3, the development version from CEDET should work fine:

Answer 5

You could use CEDET 1.06pre6.

As an example, you can see my configuration here: https://github.com/vikasmenon/emacs
