Re: [Bug: 21.4.18] site-lisp not in load-path

David> The complete tarball as well as the prebuilt XEmacs package David> are available from <URL:ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/auctex>;, Yup. My preliminary assessment is that the sources are broken, though it's not clear how badly. A bug report was filed; I will take a closer look sometime next week, most likely, if the AUCTeX developers don't respond first. Principal issues: It is not obvious how to successfully configure the install not to overwrite a working installation. configure does not respect the user's setting of --prefix in the presence of --without-packagedir. The default non-package install is to site-lisp, which has been deprecated for 5 years, and may not be enabled in the user's XEmacs. The default non-package install will probably try to install documentation to .../no/man, which presumably is not very useful. On *BSD, one can't build the package, without hand-editing the Makefile or similar workaround, since it uses "cp -a" to prepare the target directory. XEmacs users who are not comfortable working around the above defects should not try to build AUCTeX from sources. I have no comment on the package, except that "tar tzf" suggests that everything is where it belongs, XEmacs-wise. -- School of Systems and Information Engineering http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
