Today I tried the lookup with XEmacs 21.2.17 (Chiyoda), but I got same phenomenon as 21.2.15. Maybe my explanation in the previous mail was too short. Here is what I did today. (1) Install the XEmacs on my machine (FreeBSD 3.2R) with latest sumo and mule-sumo packages. (2) Extract lookup package and tried to installed followed by the instruction in "INSTALL" document with it. That is; # ./configure --with-emacs=xemacs # make Making package stopped with the message... mosra# make Making all in lisp Wrong type argument: stringp, nil xemacs exiting. *** Error code 255 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. (3) I checked the Makefile and found that the elisp in lisp/lookup-compile.el makes an error. And finally what was changed from 21.2.13 was the result of following elisp code. (setq load-path (cons nil load-path)) (load "browse-url") Please try to run the XEmacs with "xemacs -nw -vanilla" and evaluate this one. On 21.2.17, I got an error message "Wrong type argument: stringp, nil" But on 21.2.13 or 21.1.2, it was executed without error. Installation faiure of lookup seems to be occured because the latest XEmacs's behavier has changed when there is 'nil' in load-path. (4) So, I changed 'nil' in lookup-compile.el to "." "make" and "make install" seems to be OK. BUT, lookup-xxx does not work. It shows an error "Autoloading failed to define function lookup-word." Umm... Could you tell me how did you install the lookup? -- Osamu MIHARA // NEC Printers Division
