Hello
I finally compiled and install xemacs21.5.28, I downloaded the mule
and the sumo packages and installed them in the default directories
given by configure, namely, /usr/local/lib/xemacs
Now some problems
- that xemacs seems not to read my .Xdefault file and hence does
not use my favorite font nor background color.
- I can't find Mule, nor Menu entry and if I want to use,
set-input-method, that function is not known. I thought
xemacs21.5 comes only with Mule.
- I obtain some errors at the beginning which I attach and when
using gnus-summary-post-news I obtain as well an error.
Any help is appreciated

Well I had to compile Mule support in. My fault.
- the gnus and the Xdefault problem persists.

I have been told (but have not verified) that some desktops have
started ignoring .Xdefaults in favor of .Xresources. If you rename
.Xdefaults to .Xresources, does it work?

The application name XEmacs is looking for in the .Xdefaults file
changed from "Emacs" to "XEmacs" in 21.5 some months ago, IIRC.

Please post the error you get at startup. With regard to the Gnus error,
could you tell us the value of the gnus-group-name-charset-group-alist
variable?

error,

variable?
I don't understand it but the error I posted in my earlier mail is
gone, as for the gnus-group-name-charset-group-alist
`gnus-group-name-charset-group-alist' is a variable declared in Lisp.
-- loaded from "gnus-group"
Value: nil
Documentation:
Alist of group regexp and the charset for group names.
For example:
(("\.com\.cn:" . cn-gb-2312))

Applications don't read these files. They are read by the the X11
startup code. So any changes to the contents of these files must be
updated in the system with xrdb.
The most likely problem is that XEmacs used to read resources from the
"Emacs" class, but no longer does (this behavior has been deprecated
for many years, and finally removed about a year ago). You need to
use the "XEmacs" class now. There's also an environment variable you
can set to get the old behavior, but I forget where it's documented.
Aidan implemented it, he would know.
- I can't find Mule, nor Menu entry and if I want to use,

No; it's not even default yet.
- I obtain some errors at the beginning which I attach and when
using gnus-summary-post-news I obtain as well an error.
I don't recognize these.
