|   Perhaps you don't have the module built for some reason.  This would
|   normally be
|
|   /usr/lib/xemacs-21.5-b29/x86_64-pc-linux/modules
|
|   or similar (variations are possible due to distro policy), if
|   installed, or in the modules/canna directory of your source tree if
|   you run in place.  Another possibility is that the module is there but
|   it's from a different build (IIRC the module loader checks for a
|   signature of the XEmacs build).

The module was built and installed as
/site/xemacs-new/lib/xemacs-21.5-b29/x86_64-unknown-linux/modules/canna_api.ell
and a strace(1) of the xemacs-process confirms that this module was read
from this location.

The directory /site/xemacs-new was created just for this installation,
so there should be no files left over from a previous installation.

|   Yes.  You're missing the rest of the bug report that would be produced
|   by M-x report-xemacs-bug. :-)  At the very least, provide the
|   Installation file.  That would enable us to confirm whether the module
|   was configured or not.

Ah, sorry about that. I've attached the Installation file below, and
can do a report-xemacs-bug as well.

Are you able to reproduce this error, or does entering canna-mode on the
latest development sources work as it should for you?

Thanks,

-Anders.
