Some time ago, Michael Sperber [Mr. Preprocessor] wrote...
Kirill, if renaming the directory doesn't work, you really need

wherever = anywhere I tried, except for /usr/local/xemacs/xemacs-packages,
which finally worked, and which I found out by reading README.packaged...
The RTFM advice was really helpful :)
Thanks,
