Re: Autoload error

Carl> Hi, I installed xemacs on suse 10.1 using YaST but get the Carl> [package already loaded] error upon loading. Does anyone Carl> have any ideas? You have two copies of APEL in your search path. Why there's a copy of APEL in site-packages I don't know, unless you put it there; it's guaranteed to conflict. Depending on what's in the term package in site-packages, you could also run into trouble there. If you don't remember putting APEL into site-packages (I would guess it got pulled in as a dependency of SEMI), then please report this to your vendor (SuSE) as a bug in their package management. (The XEmacs Project reserves site-packages for local use; we will never put anything in there, so it's either you or SuSE.) I'm not sure this will work (since it's an error early in startup, and many facilities have not been initialized), but you could try running xemacs -batch -no-autoloads -l shadow -f list-load-path-shadows in a terminal window to get a list of potential problems with multiply-installed libraries, or different libraries with duplicate names. (You may want to pipe to less or redirect to a file to send to SuSE, as well.) -- School of Systems and Information Engineering http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
