If that's your entire Gnus config, the error you are seeing is because
`gnus-select-method' is not set to anything yet, and Gnus expects to see
a main select method in addition to the secondary select methods (yes,
this is an instance of Gnus acting like a newsreader and expecting to
connect to an NNTP server). There are a few solutions:
- Set up an NNTP server as `gnus-select-method' (I use news.gmane.org here,
because I actually find the Gmane service incredibly useful anyway).
- Set up some other kind of group as 'gnus-select-method'; this could
even be your mail/nnml setup, perhaps on the lines of
http://eschulte.me/emacs24-starter-kit/starter-kit-gnus.html which
demonstrates this, albeit with IMAP and not local maildir mail.
- Start up gnus with the tricky command M-x gnus-no-server instead of
M-x gnus. `gnus-no-server' simply skips the step of checking for a
primary select method/news server.
