Re: c-mode not installed

Did a xemacs --debug-paths& and got: emacs-roots: ("c:\\progra~1\\xemacs\\xemacs-21.4.9\\") configure-package-path: ("~\\.xemacs" "" "c:\\Program Files\\XEmacs\\site-packages" "c:\\Program Files\\ XEmacs\\xemacs-packages") early-packages and early-package-load-path: nil nil late-packages and late-package-load-path: ("c:\\carlos\\.xemacs\\") nil last-packages and last-package-load-path: nil nil lisp-directory: "c:\\progra~1\\xemacs\\xemacs-21.4.9\\lisp\\" site-directory: nil Info-directory-list: ("c:\\progra~1\\xemacs\\xemacs-21.4.9\\info\\") exec-directory: c:\progra~1\xemacs\xemacs-21.4.9\i586-pc-win32\ exec-path: ("C:\\mksnt\\" "C:\\PROGRA~1\\INTERN~1\\" "C:\\WINNT\\system32\\" "C: \\WINNT\\" "C:\\WINNT\\System32\\Wbem\\" "C:\\Program Files\\Maestro.nt\\" "C: \\CMVC95\\CMV C\\EXE\\" "c:\\progra~1\\xemacs\\xemacs-21.4.9\\i586-pc-win32\\" "C: \\PVCS\\cb\\ nt\\" "C:\\CMVC95\\CMVC\\EXE\\" "C:\\Carlos\\bin\\" "C: \\Progra~1\\Xemacs\\XEmac s-21.4.9\\i586-pc-win32\\" "C:/carlos/bin\\" "c:/carlos\\" "c:/carlos/bin\\" "c: \\progra~1\\xemacs\\xemacs-21.4.9\\i586-pc-win32\\") doc-directory: "c:\\progra~1\\xemacs\\xemacs-21.4.9\\i586-pc-win32\\" data-directory: "c:\\progra~1\\xemacs\\xemacs-21.4.9\\etc\\" data-directory-list: ("c:\\progra~1\\xemacs\\xemacs-21.4.9\\etc\\") I don't presume to know what the hell I'm talking about, but it seems to me that neither the "early-packages" or "late-packages" have a valid path. Maybe they don't have to. I did copy in the packages from a previous install. I thought that was the normal thing to do since you just unpack them, right? I don't remember there being a actual install process that would set up these paths. Anyway, if I mv the pkg dir "c:/progra~1/XEmacs/XEmacs-21.4.9/xemacs-packages" up one directory to "c:/progra~1/XEmacs", will that work? That seems to be one of the paths under the configure-package-path list. Thanks.

And M-x report-... gives no match. This means your packages are not being found for some reason. Try running "xemacs --debug-paths". This will tell you where XEmacs expects to find the packages. You can also set the environment variable EMACSPACKAGEPATH. If you know your packages are in c:\progra~1\XEmacs/XEmacs-21.4.9/xemacs-packages/lisp/cc-mode and similar for other package names besides cc-mode, set EMACSPACKAGEPATH c:\progra~1\XEmacs/XEmacs-21.4.9 may give you some joy.
