Hi, XEmacs.
My XEmacs cannot find its packages.
o - I configured the XEmacs build with a bare "./configure".
o - I ran "make install" as root, which moved the program to
/usr/local/bin/xemacs.
o - I put the sumo tarball in /usr/local/lib/xemacs as instructed by
the FM and gunzipped and tar -xf'd it there.
o - load-path is ("/usr/local/share/xemacs/site-lisp/"
"/usr/local/share/xemacs-21.5-b31/lisp/")
Why does this not work? Why can I not find the name of the variable
holding the pertinent directory?
Why can I find no documentation about how the package system works?
I've tried C-h v'ing just about every variable starting "package-",
and none of them fits the bill. Why does the doc string for
packages-load-path-depth not mention where it is going deep from?
This is frustrating.
Thanks in advance for the help.
I believe xemacs-beta expects the sumo to be
in /usr/local/share/xemacs. The stable release
uses /usr/local/lib/xemacs.
Cheers,
Sean
