Re: sumo tarball

Please do not use the webmaster address for problem reports. The webmaster address is appropriate for broken links and host not found and "technical difficulties" like that. It's only marginally appropriate for discussion of web content. Use the comp.emacs.xemacs newsgroup, the xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org mailing list, or M-x report-xemacs-bug (once you've got XEmacs running).

It's not installed in the place where XEmacs expects it to be, or it's not readable by the user executing XEmacs. Please send (1) the location of efs.el (which should look something like /usr/local/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/efs/efs.el) (2) the output of xemacs -debug-paths -kill (you can capture this to a file with "xemacs -debug-paths -kill >paths.out 2>&1") (3) your Installation file.

Internal structures are identical, the sumo just contains a lot more files. Thomas> of installing the base tarball and using XEmacs to install Thomas> individual packages. Nothing is new-user-proof.
