Problem with installation

Hi, I am not sure whether this is a problem with my machine or XEmacs. I downloaded xemacs-21.4.8.tar.gz and did ./configure make sudo make install Now I find that /usr/lib/xemacs-21.4.8/lisp/*.el[c] have permissions set to the user who compiled XEmacs and not root. Hence one could inadvertently make changes to the lisp files. Strange thing is /usr/lib/xemacs-21.4.8/lisp is owned by root but all the .el[c] files in that directory is owned by the user. I know that sudo works and this is how I install all programs I compile. What am I missing ? Also when I do C-h v use-dialog-box this is what I get: `use-dialog-box' is a variable declared in Lisp. -- loaded from "/u/scratch/downloads/lisp/xemacs-21.4.8/lisp/minibuf.elc" ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Shouldn't this say /usr/lib/xemacs-21.4.8/lisp/minibuf.elc ? This really confuses me as I then went about deleting the directory that I compiled XEmacs in. It turns out that the file is loaded from /usr/lib/xemacs-21.4.8/lisp but the doc-strings are broken. -kitty. -- Krishnakumar B <kitty at cs dot wustl dot edu> Distributed Object Computing Laboratory, Washington University in St.Louis
