Hi, I compiled xemacs myself and installed into
$HOME/xemacs-without-ipv6-cname I then made a symlink of
$HOME/xemacs-without-ipv6-cname/bin/xemacs to $HOME/bin/xemacs I
untarred the sumo tarball from
http://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/packages/xemacs-sumo-2009-02-17.tar.gz
and untarred it into $HOME/xemacs-without-ipv6-cname/lib/xemacs,
which made a directory called xemacs-packages there. When I run
xemacs, I am not able to update my packages. I go to Tools ->
Packages -> Set Download Site -> Official Releases -> US and choose
US Main. I then go "update package index" or any other command in the
Tools menu about Packages and it complains: "symbol's value as
variable is void: allow-remote-paths" Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks.
This is a common problem. I have the following in my .xemacs/init.el:
(or (boundp 'allow-remote-paths) (setq allow-remote-paths nil))
Cheers,
Sean
