It turns out I've had this problem before, and I found a note I'd made a year ago today. Mats Lidell pointed out that XEmacs can only link up to the packages _after_ they've been through 'make install', and that the start-up code can't parse the structure of the package source directory. I don't want to have to 'make install' for debugging my package, since this means yet one more directory to have to remember and keep track of, and more importantly, continually having to move compiled code into it. Or am I missing something here? I've just lost two hours trying to sort out this problem yet again, and I'm out of time (and enthusiasm) for tackling the actual bug this weekend. May I suggest that the start-up code be enhanced to be able to cope with either the installed or the source directory structure, and that with a bit of play to cope with the supplied path ending either just "xemacs-packages" or "xemacs-packages/xemacs-packages". -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany). _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
