Re: VM-BUG:

Fourth, when started VM immediately errors and is unable to set up the summary buffer because the defcustoms `vm-configure-pixmapdir' and `vm-configure-datadir' default to nil, and then are passed as the FILENAME argument to expand-file-name. The following patch illustrates one way to work around this problem. --- vm-vars.el~ 2008-04-10 06:01:56.000000000 +0900 +++ vm-vars.el 2008-04-26 02:48:53.000000000 +0900 ＠＠ -3154,8 +3154,10 ＠＠ (defun vm-pixmap-directory () (interactive) (let* ((vm-dir (file-name-directory (locate-library "vm"))) - (image-dirs (list (expand-file-name vm-configure-pixmapdir) - (expand-file-name vm-configure-datadir) + (image-dirs (list (and vm-configure-pixmapdir + (expand-file-name vm-configure-pixmapdir)) + (and vm-configure-datadir + (expand-file-name vm-configure-datadir)) (expand-file-name "pixmaps" vm-dir) (expand-file-name "../pixmaps" vm-dir) (expand-file-name (concat data-directory "vm/")))) Finally, if I understand the above, VM is not going to be able to find its pixmap directory. The two vm-configure-* variables are nil; in the XEmacs package architecture, the pixmaps will be in xemacs/etc/vm, not in xemacs-packages/lisp/ or xemacs-packages/lisp/vm, and data-directory will point to xemacs binary's own data, not to package data.
