Unable to install 21.4.1 to Debian GNU/Linux x86 potato

Greetings, I checked out the head of the release-21-4 branch (21.4.1) from CVS, configured it with: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/xemacs-21.4 --with-gif=yes --with-sound=native --with-mule --without-canna --without-wnn --without-wnn6 --datadir=/usr/local/xemacs-21.4/share --statedir=/var/lib --infodir=/usr/local/xemacs-21.4/info --mandir=/usr/local/xemacs-21.4/man --with-xpm --with-xface --with-jpeg --with-png --with-gcc --with-gnu-make --with_menubars=lucid --with_scrollbars=lucid --with_dialogs=athena --site-includes="/usr/include/db2" I tried to configure just native sound support (I recall seeing someone here mentioning about problems with ESD) and no ESD but obviously misunderstood the usage of --with-sound option because configure said it would compile native sound _and_ ESD support. Should I really have disabled all other types except native in addition? Feels a bit weird interface design to me. When I try to install with `make install', I get following kind of error messages: Loading .../xemacs-21.4-compiled/src/../lisp/make-docfile.el... Loading very-early-lisp... Loading find-paths.el...

Load file subr: not found Fatal error during load, aborting make[1]: *** [xemacs] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/.../xemacs-21.4-compiled/src' make: *** [src] Error 2 Concerning those few files that `make install' managed to install, I found directory /usr/local/xemacs-21.4/share/xemacs-21.4.1/i686-pc-linux and executables under it. This doesn't make sense, INSTALL says: The `--prefix=PREFIXDIR' option specifies where the installation process should put XEmacs and its data files. This defaults to `/usr/local'. - XEmacs (and the other utilities users run) go in PREFIXDIR/bin (unless the `--exec-prefix' option says otherwise). - The architecture-independent files go in PREFIXDIR/lib/xemacs-VERSION (where VERSION is the version number of XEmacs, like `21.0'). and also: `libdir' indicates where to put architecture-specific data files that XEmacs refers to as it runs; it too defaults to `/usr/local/lib'. We create the following subdirectories under `libdir': - `xemacs-VERSION/CONFIGURATION-NAME', containing executable programs used by XEmacs that users are not expected to run themselves and the DOC file. I specified --prefix and I didn't specify --exec-prefix and I didn't specify libdir so I expect those binaries to go to /usr/local/xemacs-21.4/lib/xemacs-21.4.1/i686-pc-linux. Did I do something wrong or is 21.4* still this broken? -- Hannu Please don't send copies of list mail
