Re: Yeah! Using instructions missing from the README, xemacs installed! (was Re: How can xemacs have been made so hard to install? Do the developers have any clue it is needlessly hard/undocumented?)

Please tell me what can be improved on the "The SUMO tarball" section of README.packages.

It seems to me something is screwed up with your header files. You really should just install a working set of headers in /usr/include and forget about the symlink. This creates some hassle in compiling tightly bound linux tools but it is worth it.

That compiler is broken with respect to the warnings. Under Solaris (with CC) and with gcc 2.7.2 or gcc 2.95 there are close to know warnings.
