Re: Problems with site packages

Vaclav> Hi, Vaclav> I've installed xemacs from CVS this weekend and now I'm trying to Vaclav> re-enable all the packages I used to use.

Vaclav> remem.el contains (require 'overlay) , so apparently I need some Vaclav> other package - but which one? My previous xemacs version (RPM in XEmacs does not have overlays.
