In XEmacs 21.2 (beta19) "Shinjuku" [Lucid] (powerpc-unknown-linux,
compiled without problems),
configured using `configure --prefix=/usr
--package-path=/var/tmp/xemacs-root/usr/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages
--debug=no --error-checking=none --with-pop --mail-locking=flock
--with-mule=no --dynamic=yes --lockdir=/var/lock/xemacs',
I get the following message after starting xemacs:
Couldn't find obvious defaults for:
doc-directory
exec-directory
Perhaps some directories don't exist, or the XEmacs executable,
/usr/bin/xemacs
is in a strange place?
The doc-directory is at /usr/lib/xemacs-21.2-b19/ppc-unknown-linux/,
which is the standard place. I compiled 21.2.18 with the same options,
and there this problem does not appear. When I run the same executable
at the place where it was built, namely
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/xemacs-21.2.19/building/ppc-linux/src/, then it
has no difficulties finding its doc-directory, which is called lib-src
in this case.
I can also make /usr/lib/xemacs-21.2-b19/lib-src a symbolic link to
/usr/lib/xemacs-21.2-b19/ppc-unknown-linux/, and the problem disappears.
It seems to me that the file names used for make install and those
searched for on startup don't agree.
