Dear Bug Team!


I sent report of this on comp.emacs.xemacs.  Here is the description:

  I replaced my hard drive on my main computer.  I have installed a
fresh OS - XP Pro.  Xemacs seems to work fine w/ the emacs.el in my
home directory and with the -vanilla option.  I am only getting the error:
 "File mode specification error: (file-error "searching for program"
"no such file or directory" "xargs")

when attempting to load a vhdl file (autoload).  The vhdl file is loaded 
in the
buffer, but the vhdl tab is not present.

What I thought should have happened is:  The file loads into the
buffer and the vhdl mode is active, allowing me to use the tools such
as auto complete of variables and the use of electricfication,
fontificaiton and beautification tools.  None are accessible.

  I uninstalled the previous version and loaded the latest 21.4.18.  I
used the package tools to add the vhdl package.  Still the same
problem.  C-mode has the same problem.

  If I invoke another package manually like calc (M-x calc) it works
fine.  If I manually load vhdl-mode (M-x vhdl-mode) I have the results
seen here.  Please let me know if you need any further information.  I 
appreciate the help.  Thanks for the excellent software app.

Best Regards,
