Bizarre issue with symbolic links

I have 21.5 beta 28 (the last tarball?) install on ubuntu gutsy gibbon in /opt/xemacs. It runs fine as /opt/xemacs/bin/xemacs. -- that is, after I installed a sumo. The package manager refused to run, and README.packages is missing entirely from that tarball. If I do: ln -s /opt/xemacs/bin/xemacs /usr/local/bin /usr/local/bin/xemacs I get: temacs can only be run in -batch mode. Surely something is jesting with me. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
