There is a report on the ilisp group that there is a problem with running generic ilisp with xemacs under windows. In my testing ilisp-1.17.pkg ran fine under solaris 2.6 and 8 and linux with a whole stack of common lisp compilers (acl{4.3,6.0} clisp-2001nnnn, cmucl debian and sparc versions).

Hello Lasse, the RET stands for "hit RETURN or Enter key on your keyboard". I think it's not appropriate in the unix command instructions. It is they way user input of said key is represented in XEmacs docs and M-x view-lossage represents it the same way. Just hit the Enter/RETURN key instead of typing R E T :-) I'll probably send a patch for 21.5 and recommend it for 21.1 and 21.4.

[HEADS UP] XEmacs Packages CVS tree restructured. 23 years, 4 months

Steve Youngs

The XEmacs Packages CVS repository has been restructured. And as of midnight (GMT+10), Sunday July 8th, 2001, the old packages tree will no longer be open for commits. The new tree can be checked out of CVS with: cvs -d :pserver:xemacs＠cvs.xemacs.org:/usr/CVSroot login (password is zawinski) And then: cvs -d :pserver:xemacs＠cvs.xemacs.org:/usr/CVSroot co packages (to grab everything) cvs -d :pserver:xemacs＠cvs.xemacs.org:/usr/CVSroot co package-standard (to grab all the standard (aka non-Mule) packages) cvs -d :pserver:xemacs＠cvs.xemacs.org:/usr/CVSroot co package-mule (to grab all the mule packages) Individual packages can be checked out with: cvs -d :pserver:xemacs＠cvs.xemacs.org:/usr/CVSroot co <packagename> For example, to check out a copy of Gnus: cvs -d :pserver:xemacs＠cvs.xemacs.org:/usr/CVSroot co gnus The way things were: ./xemacs-packages/ | |---/comm/ | |---/gnus/ | |---/libs/ | |---/efs/ | |---/xemacs-base/ | |---/mule/ |---/mule-base/ The *NEW* layout: ./packages/ | |---/mule-packages/ | |---/mule-base/ | |---/xemacs-packages/ |---/gnus/ |---/efs/ |---/xemacs-base/ So, basically, if it is a Mule package it will be under ./mule-packages/ and if it's not, it'll be under ./xemacs-packages/ If you have any problems or questions, feel free to contact me directly. -- |---<Steve Youngs>---------------<GnuPG KeyID: 9E7E2820>---| | XEmacs - It's not just an editor. | | It's a way of life. | |------------------------------------<youngs(a)xemacs.org>---|

dired alignment issue 23 years, 4 months

Jeff Mincy

I've noticed that sometimes the columns in dired become misaligned. I think it is because the sort (dired-sort-toggle-or-edit) indents everything by four spaces instead of the normal two spaces. Eg: Dired listing after 'g' (revert-buffer) c:/PROGRA~1/XEmacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/dired: total 1016 drwxrwxrwx 2 jmincy 0 0 Feb 04 18:09 . drwxrwxrwx 2 jmincy 0 0 Feb 04 18:09 .. -rw-rw-rw- 1 jmincy 0 75 Jun 20 15:57 _pkg.el -rw-rw-rw- 1 jmincy 0 23700 Jun 20 15:57 auto-autoloads.el ... Dired listing after 's' (dired-sort-toggle-or-edit) Every line indents out two more spaces. c:/PROGRA~1/XEmacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/dired: total 1016 drwxrwxrwx 2 jmincy 0 0 Feb 04 18:09 .. drwxrwxrwx 2 jmincy 0 0 Feb 04 18:09 . -rw-rw-rw- 1 jmincy 0 75 Jun 20 15:57 _pkg.el -rw-rw-rw- 1 jmincy 0 23700 Jun 20 15:57 auto-autoloads.el ... -jeff

Help for a newbie! 23 years, 4 months

Caitlin Martin

I am running Xemacs on a Redhat 7.1 system installed on a 866MHz Pentium III. I have just installed version 21.4.3 per the install instructions page, I think! :) How do I get Xemacs to connect to the internet to download the packages necessary for full functionalitY? If I try and run the "List and Install" function I get the following error message "Symbol's value as variable is void: allow-remote-paths". It appears that Xemacs willnot talk to the internet. I set up the mail function to use netscape and it downloads messages fine this way and I can use the internet normally (or you wouldnt be seeing this) :) so can anyone help this poor ol redheaded woman fix her toy???

21.4.3 copy-file 23 years, 4 months

Jeff Mincy

Under 21.4.3 on windows (& cygwin), when I try to save my vm inbox I have been getting: Cannot write backup file; backing up in ~/%backup%~ This did not happen under 21.1.13. I tracked this down to backup-buffer in files.el that does: (copy-file real-file-name backupname t t) Under 21.4.3, when I do (copy-file "c:/home/jmincy/INBOX" "c:/home/jmincy/INBOX.~3333~" t t) I get I/O error: No such file or directory, c:/home/jmincy/INBOX.~3333~ Under 21.1.13, the same copy file works without I/O error. -jeff
