I see the fat chance that people will continue using the sumo distribution because it's much simpler to do that than pinpoint the problem. Thus [X]Emacs will continue to be considered a disk hog. oops! my brain must have been on vacation :^( FYI: the error went away closing the session and restarting, so I assume that installing a package (mail-lib) in a running xemacs is somewhat different from having it available at startup (problems with auto-autoloads??). While this may be considered a bug it's certainly a very minor one. No, I wasn't. I will give it a spin. my config.status says: # This directory was configured as follows, # on host balder: # # ./configure --with-mule --prefix=/opt/xemacs --compiler=egcc --error-checking=none --debug=no --gung-ho shouldn't that cure all beta-lowness? I understand this version is now considered stable, so I tried to disable all the checkings. Thanks Mauro
