some problem in vc

Hello, When I use XEmacs (HEAD, mercurial repo) on M$. I execute 'xemacs' (not with -q) open a read only file (set through the file by setting buffer-read-only:t) and try to toggle read-only status, I get the following error (only the first time). The same error is displayed when I modify and save it (repeatedly). --------------------------- git.exe - Unable To Locate Component --------------------------- This application has failed to start because libcurl-4.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem. --------------------------- OK --------------------------- The same does not happen when I run with 'xemacs -q'. I have a customization file that works for both XEmacs and FSF Emacs. I will try to find the root cause and post my findings. I do not see the same problem in FSF Emacs. Various things I tried: 1. I tried adding the the folders having the 'git.exe' and the 'libcurl-4.dll' to the 'exec-path', this did not help. 2. Where as, I added it to the PATH environment variable in the shell (cmd) and executed 'xemacs' from that shell inheriting the PATH, it worked! 3. I add the same in my dotemacs (setenv "PATH" (concat "e:/gnu/git/bin" (getenv "PATH"))) and this did not work. 4. Changing the '/' to '\\' worked! The PATH expects the path seperator to be '\\'. I feel it should honor '/' too. A few queries: 1. If 'git.exe' (or executable) is not found in the PATH, should that system be ignored? 2. Do you feel adding to 'exec-path' should have worked? Is 'exec-path' very much different from 'PATH'? -dky -- Contents reflect my personal views only! _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
