Re: [Bug: 21.4.12] w3-site-init not present

"Stephen J. Turnbull" <stephen(a)xemacs.org&gt; writes: I wanted to go into a little more detail about the problem, now that I know a little bit more about it. I have a sequence of code in my startup configuration files that sets the XEmacs font to a custom bitmap font which is of fixed size. Since I couldn't seem to set the font properly using the custom-set-faces SPEC mechanism, I do the following: (let ((myfaces '( default ;; lots more faces listed here )) (fontname (if (eq (console-type) 'mswindows) "ProggyClean:Regular:8::OEM/DOS" (if (eq (console-type) 'x) "-windows-proggyclean-medium-r-normal-sans-13-80-96-96-c-70-winsys" nil)))) (unless (eq nil fontname) (mapcar (lambda (sym) (set-face-font sym fontname)) myfaces))) This works great to select the font that I prefer to use when I code, but seems to be the culprit when it comes to the w3 error, because if I comment out the above code, w3 is invoked properly with some Courier-derivative font. However, as this indicates that I may be doing something irregular in my configuration, and this might not actually be some kind of bug, I'll understand if I am told to look elsewhere for help (but would greatly appreciate suggestions regarding where to ask!) :). I came across the following: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.general/45402/match=html+washin... And it looks like the version of w3 and url in the cvs repository are significantly newer than the w3 I have installed (for my currently installed, version, M-x w3-version yields "WWW 4.0pre.45, URL p4.0pre.46, MM 1.96"). Could this be the problem? I fetched the newest versions of the w3 and url packages from subversions.gnu.org, but the build process for url packages fails: -- snip, snip -- GNUSDIR=/usr/local/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/gnus/ URLSRCDIR=. xemacs -batch -q -no-site-file -l ./docomp.el -l ./url-v ars.el -f batch-byte-compile url-dav.el Compiling /home/jstanley/build/url/lisp/url-dav.el... While compiling toplevel forms in file /home/jstanley/build/url/lisp/url-dav.el: !! File error (("Cannot open load file" "xml")) Error occurred processing url-dav.el: Cannot open load file: xml -- snip, snip -- But googling for this error yielded nothing, nor could I find any information about the "xml package", which is apparently required. Any help would be greatly appreciated. As always, thanks for any help you might be able to provide. -j -- Joel Stanley * jstanley(a)cs.uiuc.edu
