Re: 21.2b4: why is late-package-load-path nil?

Adrian Aichner spoke: Les> when i do this, the lisp dirs show up in the late-package Les> variable, but late-package-load-path is nil and xemacs seems Les> dumb about the lisp in those dirs when it starts linux well, when i ran xemacs with the -debug-paths tahts what i found, taht late-package had the list of old site-lisp (now site-packages) subdirs, but load-path and late-packages-load-path was unaware of them, which i was assuming was why xemacs claimed it couldnt load lisp from these dirs. i enclose the path info below from xemacs -debug-paths. the load-path var from inside xemacs, and the Installation data below that. thanks ...
