Bernd,
The error is related to the help files for Speedbar, which is in the
CEDET package. In doing some searching, I located the following threads
on the CEDET e-mail list:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=12228978&forum_id=4869
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/55841
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=14926725&forum_id=4869
I have not tried it as I am not using the Speedbar in ECB, but there
appears to be a fix, discussed in the above, available via the CEDET CVS
at:
http://cedet.cvs.sourceforge.net/cedet/cedet/speedbar/sb-info.el?view=log
Note the last log entry for Rev 1.20:
Put (provide 'sb-info) before (eval-after-load "info") to fix
recursive (require 'sb-info) error on Emacs 22.
You might want to try this to see if it resolves your issue.
HTH,
Marc Schwartz
