Re: symbol's value as variable is void: allow-remote-paths

Hi, I compiled xemacs myself and installed into
$HOME/xemacs-without-ipv6-cname
I then made a symlink of $HOME/xemacs-without-ipv6-cname/bin/xemacs to $HOME/bin/xemacs
I untarred the sumo tarball from
http://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/packages/xemacs-sumo-2009-02-17.tar.gz and untarred it
into $HOME/xemacs-without-ipv6-cname/lib/xemacs, which made a directory called
xemacs-packages there.
When I run xemacs, I am not able to update my packages.
I go to Tools -> Packages -> Set Download Site -> Official Releases -> US and
choose US Main.
I then go "update package index" or any other command in the Tools menu about
Packages and it complains: "symbol's value as variable is void:
allow-remote-paths"
Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.
It probably can't find the EFS package, which is needed to download
anything. What version of XEmacs is this? If it's 21.5, the packages
need to go into share/xemacs, not lib/xemacs. If it's not (or problems
persist), please run xemacs -debug-paths and post the output.
