</div>Windows is "case preserving" which means that it does keep the proper<br>
names, but file access is insensitive. This means that it's really<br>
best to treat files as case sensitive and uses the proper names in<br>
code too, otherwise you risk code breaking when you switch to a case<br>
sensitive system...<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>And that was exactly the problem, only it was hidden in a file that I wasn't<br></div><div>directly looking at. I had used '(require "private/...") instead of<br>
