Press the button (it wasn't displayed due to another bug) labelled "Activate Generated Build Configure" instead. Pressing "Customize Build Configure ..." should make the value of this package a bit more obvious. Pretty complex all these configuration possibilities, eh? Review them, set (or even save) any to your liking. Then you're ready to "Run XEmacs Configure". Please let me know how following package works for you: (package-get-update-base-entry (quote (build (standards-version 1.0 version "1.67" author-version "r1-67" date "2001-03-20" build-date "2001-03-20" maintainer "Adrian Aichner <adrian(a)xemacs.org&gt;&quot; distribution stable priority low category "comm" dump nil description "Build XEmacs from within (UNIX, Windows)." filename "build-1.67-pkg.tar.gz" md5sum "d88661b2882e26129b9a16be49804067" size 37296 provides (build) requires () type regular )) )) Best regards, Adrian SY> You can in fact continue on after that error, doing 'Customize Build SY> Configure' but there are some things missing from the configure.
