Doug> I built xemacs last night from the head of cvs using --with-gtk. That Doug> worked with no appearant problems. I then grabbed the head of Doug> packages and tried to build that. At first I just took the Doug> Local.rules.template and just copied it over to Local.rules. That Doug> wouldn't actually compile when I did 'make install'. I'm thinking Doug> it's because I didn't do anything to enable mule when I built xemacs Doug> and now the packages were trying to do mule stuff. So, I set Doug> BUILD_WITHOUT_MULE to t and redid the 'make install'. I then re-read Doug> the INSTALL file to see that I should have done a 'make autoloads'. Doug> So I did a 'make clean; make autobuilds; make install'. This all Doug> seemed to work OK. Doug> After I created the /usr/local/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages directory Doug> and copied everything from my packages/xemacs-packages directory Doug> over. When I restarted xemacs I still wasn't able to find any of my Hmmh, packages are normally copied to a STAGING area and can be installed from there. Works fine for me on Windows. What does xemacs -debug-paths give you? What's the value of XEmacs variable configure-package-path and what's the value of env. var. EMACSPACKAGEPATH if you have it? Doug> packages. My init.el barfed on every require that I did (specifically Doug> uniqify and vc before I assumed it would barf on all of them).
