Emacs xkcd installation needs JSON 1.4, not found in ELPA
- by CodeKingPlusPlus
I tried to install the xkcd emacs package (where you can view an xkcd comic in emacs) and got the following error:
Need JSON 1.4, but only 1.2 is available
I tried to get JSON 1.4 but I cannot find it in the package manager ELPA.
It also says that I have JSON 1.3 built in and installed. A lot of things seem to not work correctly.
How can I get xkcd to work inside of emacs?
I use Ubuntu 12.04 and Emacs 24.3.
