Same emacs settings: work fine on linux, error on mac

Question

I have this error when loading emacs ( in terminal ) using mac. It seems to be some errors with the byte code when compiling:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable mouse-wheel-mode)

how to fix this kind of problem ?

It looks like the top lines of the error message are missing. — legoscia, Nov 05 '14 at 10:51
@legoscia thanks ! I've fixed my post with the line. I'm stupid enough to no search for that keyword. I have found my answer. Thanks — Dzung Nguyen, Nov 05 '14 at 12:29

It looks like centered-cursor-mode inspects the variable mouse-wheel-mode without first requiring mwheel. If you're running in graphical mode, this mode will be turned on automatically during startup and thus the variable is loaded, but apparently the mwheel library isn't loaded at all in terminal mode.

Try adding this to your .emacs.d/init.el, before loading centered-cursor-mode:

(require 'mwheel)

Same emacs settings: work fine on linux, error on mac
