Emacs Mac PortД®macs Mac Port is a patch set for GNU Emacs proper for better OS X integration.

The other distributions are patched and forked variants of GNU Emacs. This is the only distribution which you can create yourself in GNU Emacs proper by installing additional Emacs packages and adjusting your init.el accordingly.

The choice of packages suggests that it's mostly targeted at statistician and researches, which would work through their data with R and ESS, and then publish a paper with Org or AUCTeX and LaTeX.ДЇor other users, this distribution is probably of little value, since you'd need to install additional packages anyway, and might as well use GNU Emacs proper right away. For instance, you can install AUCTeX in GNU Emacs proper by simply typing M-x package-install RET auctex, and enabling it.

With the notable exception of ESS, all of these packages are available through Emacs' package archives for installation in any Emacs. Emacs for OS X ModifiedДЄccording to the website Emacs for OS X Modified is simply a standard build of GNU Emacs, based on the above, with some additional packages, and the necessary configuration to enable all of these packages. If you'd like to use these-the former is particularly important if you'd like to read your mail in Emacs-you need to get GNU Emacs from Homebrew.

Note though, that these binaries lack support for some libraries, notably GNU TLS and ImageMagick. All of these builds are self-contained, which lets you safely try pretests and snapshots. The site provides builds of stable releases and pretests, as well as nightly snapshots. It's roughly the same you'd get by compiling a GNU Emacs release tarball with.

If it's custom, you most likely just need to wrap a call to save-match-data around the relevant code.Emacs for Mac OS X provides OS X binaries of GNUД®macs proper. Presumably one of them does indeed clobber the match data, and that should then be addressed as a bug for the function in question. Check your values for the before-change-functions and after-change-functions variables (in the buffer in question), and establish whether one of the functions listed is responsible. So I would firstly assume that the information in the error is correct, and try to confirm it. Hooks triggered by buffer changes in replace_range, upcase-region,ДЄnd upcase-initials-region clobber the match data needed to beДЄdjusted for the replacement. * src/search.c (Freplace_match): Error out if buffer modification I can tell you that this error message was introduced in July 2016, which explains why older versions of Emacs did not raise it: commit 3a9d6296b35e5317c497674d5725eb52699bd3b8ДЄvoid crashes when buffer modification hooks clobber match data (while (re-search-forward old (point-max) t) (interactive '*r sReplace string: swith: ') 'Replace occurrences of REGEXP with TO-STRING in region.' (defun re-replace-region (begin end old new) For example, to insert a prefix '>' at the beginning of each line throughout the region indicated by BEGIN and END. Here is the defun: RE-REPLACE-REGION replaces OLD (a regular expression) with NEW The only other clue I can offer is that when running re-replace-region on a region with say three 9s (999) in it, trying to change 9 to 0, the first 9 is altered before the error condition is raised. In fact, I have an emacs executable (version 22.1.1) on the same machine, and after invoking it in the same environment (e.g., same ~/.emacs etc), re-replace-region works as it should. I've never had this problem with prior versions of Aquamacs (or emacs generally), and there is nothing I can think of, either in the emacs environment or the machine environment generally (Mac OS 10.9.5), that might be associated with the problem. After upgrading to Aquamacs Version 3.3 (emacs 25.1.1), I'm getting the error mentioned in the title when running re-replace-region (as defined below), trying to change a string of 9s in a region (e.g.
