As Stephen points out, this is because my XEmacs is not build with a Mule inside. This seems to be the wrong problem though! I can build the apel package just fine ( make distclean make bindist ) from latest CVS, because I have correctly configured my .../xemacs-packages/Local.rules It contains this: # Should we build the mule package? # BUILD_WITHOUT_MULE = t This causes emu-mule.el (and some others requiring mule) not to be byte-compiled when the package is built.
