Re: a new user

incidentally, why `lib'? libs are platform dependent, while emacs byte-compiled files are not, so they should be installed under `share', right? Hopeless. I want to get the packages via CVS and keep them under /usr/src/xemacs/lisp/. They are /usr/src/xemacs/lisp/xemacs-w3/*, /usr/src/xemacs/lisp/xemacs-gnus/*, &c. I will **NOT** be installing XEmacs under ${prefix}, so if it cannot be run "in-place" with the packages I want, just say so and I will leave you alone. So, what are the **EXACT** instructions? Like what should the --package-path argument be? (I tried `--package-path=/usr/src/xemacs/lisp/' and got compile errors). What do I type at the terminal? like $ cd /usr/src/xemacs/ $ ./configure --package-path=/usr/src/xemacs/lisp/ $ make $ cd lisp/xemacs-base $ make ???? Look folks, I did RTFM, and I have installed numerous programs in the past. It might sound presumptuous, but I would say that if I can't figure out the docs, at least part of the problem is with the docs.
