No, you are correct, you can't run packages "in place". But you can get close (at least on a Unix platform)... In 'Local.rules' if you set: symlink = t XEMACS_STAGING = /usr/local/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages MULE_STAGING = /usr/local/lib/xemacs/mule-packages And then do a 'make install', you'll get a symlinked package tree. -- |---<Steve Youngs>---------------<GnuPG KeyID: 10D5C9C5>---| | XEmacs - It's not just an editor. | | It's a way of life. | |------------------------------------&lt;youngs(a)xemacs.org&gt;---|
