I am all for the change to share, but it hasn't been implemented yet. Right. But XEmacs can be run "in-place" -- that's how I'm running it. I compile XEmacs with --package-path=$HOME/work/emacs/xemacs-packages, and run $HOME/work/emacs/xemacs-beta/mybin/src/xemacs, and it works for me. Am I somehow misunderstanding what you want to do. Try without the /lisp part. That works for me. I totally agree. The packages are a relatively new feature, and the documentation is lacking, to say the least. Again, thanks for the persistence. -- Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic(a)srce.hr&gt; | Student at FER Zagreb, Croatia --------------------------------+-------------------------------- Try to use "ad nauseam" at least once per flame. It doesn't mean anything; but it gives that polished feel to your postings.
