Do you get any warnings/errors when byte-compiling trivial-cite? If
so, what are they?
Compiling file /home/rainer/elisp/tc.el at Sun Jan 11 15:49:28 2004
While compiling tc-fancy-attribution:
** reference to free variable tc-groups-functions
While compiling tc-group-attribution:
** reference to free variable tc-groups-functions
While compiling the end of the data:
** The following functions are not known to be defined:
make-overlay, overlay-put, posn-point, event-start, overlay-start,
overlay-end, delete-overlay
You're not, by any chance, byte-compiling with GNU/Emacs and
trying
to run the .elc with XEmacs are you? Because that won't work.
No, there isn't any GNU/Emacs on my System. I byte-compiled it with
xemacs.

I'll install trivial-cite and see if I can reproduce your problem.
Where can I find `kai-tc-simple-attribution'?
This is part part of trivial-cite.

You should really clean all of these up. And it looks to me like
you have some GNU/Emacs directories in your XEmacs
load-path... really not worth the hassle.
I assume you mean this:
...
/usr/share/xemacs21/site-lisp/erc/erc-lang
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/erc/erc-lang
...
This seems to be a Debian issue. Emacs is just a general term for
XEmacs and GNU/Emacs. Some emacs programms like erc in this case, are
distributed as single packages. The .el files end up in the general
emacs directory and the .elc goes to the appropriate directory like
xemacs21 in this case. I think this shouldn't be a problem, but I'm a
technical low rider, so you shouldn't give to much about my opinion
;-)
