function definition void

function definition void

[Baloff]

Hello
while reading the manual

I copied and yanked this in my ./gnus.el file but it is giving article
function definition void: or something like that in the minibuffer
when I load-file ./gnus.el

(article (horizontal 1.0
		     (vertical 0.5
			       (group 1.0)
			       (gnus-carpal 4))
		     (vertical 1.0
			       (summary 0.25 point)
			       (summary-carpal 4)
			       (article 1.0))))
I got it from
http://www.gnus.org/manual/gnus_272.html#SEC272
what am I doing wrong?

thanks

You'll need an actual function call:

(gnus-add-configuration
 '(article (horizontal 1.0
		       (vertical 0.5
				 (group 1.0)
				 (gnus-carpal 4))
		       (vertical 1.0
				 (summary 0.25 point)
				 (summary-carpal 4)
				 (article 1.0)))))


gnus-add-configuration is the function call and the rest is the
argument to that function.  The above should do the trick for you
(assuming the layout actually works - I didn't try it)
