Please start from ./emacs-helm.sh and see if you can reproduce.

It is not reproductible here (Ubuntu and Windows7).

Looks like something is modified in your emacs, how do you call
`helm-M-x' ?

I tried to call it both by (global-set-key (kbd "M-x") 'helm-M-x) and interactively, using ido. Also disabled all other completion packages, and just run M-x helm-M-x. All methods produce the above error.

Incidentally, I have this in my config (global-set-key "\C-x\C-m" 'execute-extended-command) , and running this command brings up helm buffer, if (helm-mode 1).

Please also start from ./emacs-helm.sh and see if you can reproduce.

I installed Helm using package manger. It installed Helm to /Users/s3/.emacs.d/elpa/helm-20150724.256. Inside this dir I run ./emacs-helm.sh and get the following error:
byte-code: Cannot open load file: no such file or directory, helm

Indeed! The current Melpa package doesn't include helm.el, but we
require it in helm.sh. Thierry, why is that?

helm.el is in helm-core now.
I have commited a fix, didn't test though, but should work.

Yeah, helm-M-x works with this minimal helm config. Let me see what could be causing this error in my config.
Please chime-in if you have any ideas.

[srustamo]

Ah, actually, the latest helm from elpa does not give this error, now that I checked.
