21.2-b8: advice + vhdl-mode + font-lock-mode

Hello XEmacs people... I'm having trouble getting font-lock-mode and vhdl-mode to work together, and have discovered that this "works" fine: bash$ xemacs-21.2-b8 -vanilla -batch \ -eval "(progn (vhdl-mode) (font-lock-mode))" and this fails: bash$ xemacs-21.2-b8 -vanilla -batch \ -eval "(progn (require 'advice) (vhdl-mode) (font-lock-mode))" Symbol's value as variable is void: font-lock-use-default-minimal-decoration xemacs exiting. Apart from that, it seems fine for me except that the native Linux sound code corrupting sound... which I'm going to look into when I have time. uname -a: Linux arise 2.2.0-pre6 #1 Sat Jan 9 21:56:10 GMT 1999 i586 unknown ./configure '--prefix=/usr' '--gung-ho' '--with-sound=both' '--statedir=/var/lib' '--with-clash-detection' '--lockdir=/var/lib/emacs/lock' '--infopath=/usr/info' '--datadir=\${prefix}/share' '--package-path=/usr/share/xemacs21/packages' '--with-site-lisp' '--without-mule' XEmacs 21.2-b8 "Artemis" configured for `i586-pc-linux'.
