The archives has the message at
http://calypso.tux.org/pipermail/xemacs-beta/2006-November/000371.html
Now, I only add '--prefix=/Users/royar/usr/local' to configure, no need
to add the extra definitions to 'make install' or to tell well the
packages are stored. I removed '--with-prefix' from my configuration
options.
The program makes and installs without errors.
Robert,
I have tried making xemacs with the patched configure.ac file with the
following configure options:
./configure --prefix=/opt/local --datarootdir=/opt/local/lib
--datadir=/opt/local/lib --infodir=/opt/local/share/info
--mandir=/opt/local/share/man --with-site-prefixes=/opt/local
--disable-error-checking --with-ldap=no --with-postgresql=no
--with-default-eol-detection --without-mule --with-tty --with-ncurses
--with-scrollbars=motif --with-dialogs=motif --with-widgets=motif
--with-optimization
and it still fails at the end with the following error message:

Do you have any idea what could be the problem here? It seems to me that
the previous installation of xemacs in /usr/local (with no prefix, but
with --with-site-prefixes=/opt/local) may have a lot to do with my
problems, but I have no idea why ...
Cheers,
Artemio

Robert,
I have tried making xemacs with the patched configure.ac file with the
following configure options:
./configure --prefix=/opt/local --datarootdir=/opt/local/lib
--datadir=/opt/local/lib --infodir=/opt/local/share/info
--mandir=/opt/local/share/man --with-site-prefixes=/opt/local
--disable-error-checking --with-ldap=no --with-postgresql=no
--with-default-eol-detection --without-mule --with-tty --with-ncurses
--with-scrollbars=motif --with-dialogs=motif --with-widgets=motif
--with-optimization
This is my configuration
./configure '--with-mule' '--with-widgets=athena'
'--with-athena=3d' \
'--with-dialogs=athena' '--with-scrollbars=lucid'
'--without-debug' \
'--with-union-type' '--without-error-checking' \
'--prefix=/Users/royar/usr/local' '--with-png' '--with-jpeg' \
'--with-tiff' '--with-xmu' '--with-xim=no'
'--enable-sound=esd' \
'--disable-xfs' '--enable-dump-in-exec' '--with-modules' \
'--enable-external-widget' '--with-dynamic' '--disable-kkcc' \
'--disable-mc-alloc' '--enable-optimization' \
'--with-cflags-optimization=-Os -pipe -mcpu=970 -mtune=970 -mpim-altivec' \
'--with-site-runtime-libraries=/opt/local/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib' \
'--with-site-libraries=/opt/local/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib' \
'--with-xft=emacs,gauges,tabs,nomenubars' '--with-compiler=gcc-4.0' \
'CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include' 'LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib'
Note that I do not now include any directives regarding where to place
components; I only specify prefix. Here is the tree that XEmacs
creates:
13M /Users/royar/usr/local/bin
18M /Users/royar/usr/local/lib/xemacs/mule-packages
10M /Users/royar/usr/local/lib/xemacs/site-lisp
0B /Users/royar/usr/local/lib/xemacs/site-modules
125M /Users/royar/usr/local/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages
153M /Users/royar/usr/local/lib/xemacs
15M /Users/royar/usr/local/lib/xemacs-21.5-b27/etc
7.1M /Users/royar/usr/local/lib/xemacs-21.5-b27/info
13M /Users/royar/usr/local/lib/xemacs-21.5-b27/lisp
4.7M /Users/royar/usr/local/lib/xemacs-21.5-b27/powerpc-apple-darwin8.8.0
40M /Users/royar/usr/local/lib/xemacs-21.5-b27
192M /Users/royar/usr/local/lib
68K /Users/royar/usr/local/man/man1
68K /Users/royar/usr/local/man
I removed all traces of the tree before I installed with the current
configuration setting (after saving site-lisp, mule-packages, and
xemacs-packages to move back). Since then, I have installed twice
without touching the existing installation.
The problems I saw began when the installation began creating
~/usr/local/share and placing a bin, lib, xemacs, and xemacs-21.5-b27
inside it. For some reason, share is no longer part of the picture
(see Stephen's comment earlier today at
http://calypso.tux.org/pipermail/xemacs-beta/2006-November/000418.html).
and it still fails at the end with the following error message:

Robert,
I have tried making xemacs with the patched configure.ac file with the
following configure options:
Sorry if this is off-base, but did you run autoconf against the new
configure.ac in order to regenerate configure?
HTH,
Vin

HTH,

Vin,
Stephen and you were right on target! Once I rebuilt configure with
autoconf, I was able to make the latest xemacs in /opt/local with just
--prefix=/opt/local.
Thanks a lot everybody for your patience!
Cheers,
Artemio

Did you run "autoconf"? configure does not incorporate changes in
configure.ac until you run autoconf.
