I get this error: Error: defineAlreadyDefined, that only occurs with dojo.

index.php

<script data-main="app" src="require.js"></script>

app.js

require({
    paths : {
        dojo : '.7.1/dojo/dojo'
    }
});

require([ 'dojo' ], function() {
   //something
});

I found a similar question, but didn't help me:

When dojo.js loaded via ajax multiple times get Error: defineAlreadyDefined

EDIT: I searched and I think the way that i am trying to use requiJS and Dojo is wrong. .6/async-modules

Any idea? thanks

In order to use a foreign loader w/ dojo you need to skip the dojo/dojo.js file, which defines the AMD loader. Your require config should have something like:

require({
    packages: [
        {
            name: 'dojo',
            location: 'dojo',
            main:'dojo/main' 
        }
    ]
});

However, the dojo loader is just as good at loading jQuery plugins as requireJS and it es with a few additional plugins, like dojo/has. I'd give serious thought to just using it's loader.

Im not sure of what you want to acplish here, but Dojo implements requireJS. Therefore you don't need requireJS.

What you would do, for the normal use of Dojo library, is:

//call dojo script
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis./ajax/libs/dojo/1.7.2/dojo/dojo.js"></script>
<script>
    var dojoConfig = (function(){
        return {
            async: true,
            //in case you wanted to use your own library
            paths: [{
                name: "location/library"//your library path
            }]
        };
    })();       

    require([
        "dojo/parser",
        "name/something",//calling 'somethong' from library
        "dojo/domReady!"
    ], function(parser, something /*your library obj*/){
        //your logic
        parser.parse();
        something.do();
    });
});
</script>
