I understand from this question that CEDET is installed in emacs 24 without additional installation, so I don't need to follow those instructions here, or the CEDET part here.
I am not using the emacs starter kit, like this answer.
So, when I use elpa to install ecb, I get the following error:

Another answer pointed me to this repository, which has jn-utils. Can I just drop these files into my emacs.d/elpa/ecb-20131116.1319/ecb2/ directory to replace the existing jn-utils?
In general:
- Why is this failing?
- How can I fix it and install ECB as simply as possible in emacs 24?
I just installed
ecb
in under a minute.From bash:
In
~/.emacs
:Done.
ecb-activate
brings up the code browser.
