That's because XEmacs thinks your checked-out CVS sandbox *is* the xemacs-package hierarchy while it isn't. (Ben wanted this feature very badly.) The solution is to move it somewhere else or to make a symlink from the actual xemacs-package hierarchy to inside your build directory. For example, my build directory looks like this: -rw-r--r-- 1 sperber PUstaff 2873 Apr 30 15:22 Installation -r--r--r-- 1 sperber PUstaff 11887 Apr 30 15:22 Makefile -rw-r--r-- 1 sperber PUstaff 25605 Apr 30 15:22 Makefile.in -rw-r--r-- 1 sperber PUstaff 105298 Apr 30 15:22 config.log -rwxr-xr-x 1 sperber PUstaff 55979 Apr 30 15:22 config.status* lrwxr-xr-x 1 sperber PUstaff 62 Apr 13 11:52 etc＠ -> /afs/informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/home/sperber/build/xemacs/etc lrwxr-xr-x 1 sperber PUstaff 63 Apr 13 11:52 info＠ -> /afs/informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/home/sperber/build/xemacs/info drwxr-xr-x 2 sperber PUstaff 2048 Apr 30 15:29 lib-src/ lrwxr-xr-x 1 sperber PUstaff 63 Apr 13 11:52 lisp＠ -> /afs/informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/home/sperber/build/xemacs/lisp drwxr-xr-x 2 sperber PUstaff 2048 Apr 13 11:52 lock/ drwxr-xr-x 2 sperber PUstaff 2048 Apr 30 15:24 lwlib/ lrwxr-xr-x 1 sperber PUstaff 62 Apr 13 11:52 man＠ -> /afs/informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/home/sperber/build/xemacs/man lrwxr-xr-x 1 sperber PUstaff 73 Apr 13 12:03 site-packages＠ -> /afs/informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/share/xemacs-21/lib/xemacs/site-packages drwxr-xr-x 2 sperber PUstaff 6144 Apr 30 15:29 src/ lrwxr-xr-x 1 sperber PUstaff 64 Apr 13 11:52 tests＠ -> /afs/informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/home/sperber/build/xemacs/tests lrwxr-xr-x 1 sperber PUstaff 75 Apr 13 12:03 xemacs-packages＠ -> /afs/informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/home/sperber/build/xemacs-packages/staging Everything except site-packages and xemacs-packages was installed automatically by configure and make. -- Cheers =8-} Mike Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla
