Turning on linum-mode when in python/c mode

c-mode, emacs, python-mode

Solution

`line-number-mode` and `linum-mode` are not the same.

Try this:

(defun my-c-mode-hook () 
  (linum-mode 1)) 
(add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'my-c-mode-hook) 

(defun my-python-mode-hook () 
  (linum-mode 1)) 
(add-hook 'python-mode-hook 'my-python-mode-hook)

Problem

I want to turn on linum mode (M-x linum-mode) automatically with python and c mode. I add the following code in .emacs, but it doesn't seem to work. ``` (defun my-c-mode-common-hook () (line-number-mode 1)) (add-hook 'c-mode-common-hook 'my-c-mode-common-hook) (defun my-python-mode-common-hook () (line-number-mode 1)) (add-hook 'python-mode-common-hook 'my-python-mode-common-hook) ``` What might be wrong?
