Re: 21.5-b26: autoloads already loaded errors?

Raymond> Is this expected behavior. sjt> Do you build your personal pcl-cvs using the XEmacs package framework, sjt> or do you just byte-compile all the files and stick them in the right sjt> place? I just byte-compiled them all. Or maybe I just edited the one file and byte-compiled it. Perhaps that's the problem?

There were other stuff, but I move them all out of the way. Some of them may have been put there using the package manager. I don't really remember.

My .emacs/.xemacs probably has stuff going back that far. :-) Yep. I have some (push <somepath> load-path) for oo-browser. Haven't used that in ages.

Yeah, I should look into this more, but leaving off -vanilla works pretty well, so motivation is low. sjt> Please send a bug report with M-x report-xemacs-bug, and also the sjt> contents of that error message about your personal file. Ok. I should have done that to begin with, but I wanted ask about this first. Ray
