As you mention later in your message, I discovered the existence of --package-prefix, and interpreted it as a simpler way to precise the standard package location, avoiding the need to specify site, xemacs and mule locations by hand with --package-path. So I went from --package-path=/usr/local/share/xemacs/site-packages:\ /usr/local/share/xemacs/mule-packages:\ /usr/local/share/xemacs/xemacs-packages to --with-package-prefix=/usr/local/share/xemacs Note that my own (~/.xemacs) package directory isn't specified anywhere. Now you're telling me that these two options silently affect the user's package path in a different way /by design/ ?? Well, I think the design is severely broken then.
