Darryl> Here's a pointer to the archives: Darryl> http://www.xemacs.org/list-archives/xemacs-beta/9809/msg00431.html Thanks, Darryl. Your patch is already in emacs-version "21.0 \"Poitou-pre2\" XEmacs Lucid", which I'm running now. http://www.xemacs.org/list-archives/xemacs-patches/9809/msg00080.html takes care of the man directory. Darryl I noticed some problems with installing auctex, sound-au, and locale via pui-list-packages. I run with the latest SUMO package-get-base.el from ftp.xemacs.org:/pub/xemacs/packages/ and have package-get-remote set to (("ftp.xemacs.org" "/pub/xemacs/packages") ("ftp.xemacs.org" "/pub/xemacs/beta/xemacs-21.0/packages/binary-packages") ("ftp.xemacs.org" "/pub/xemacs/beta/xemacs-21.0/packages/single-file-packages") ("ftp.xemacs.org" "/pub/xemacs/package")) Here are the problems: ------ AUCTEX ------ Install these packages?

Removing old files for package "sounds-au" ... Doing chmod: No such file or directory, /export/home/tmp/packages-21.0/pkginfo/MANIFEST.sounds-au I had to install sounds-wav (which does not belong in my UNIX packages directory), followed by installing sounds-au again, to get sounds-au installed properly. NB: I had both sounds-wav and sounds-au installed in <package-dir>/etc from older experiments. ------- GENERAL ------- After installing auctex 1.12 it still shows up as 1.9 in *Packages*. sounds-au does not show to be installed, even though it is. I was not able to install locale at all. Regards, Adrian Darryl> [ Wow. I had a difficult time finding it, too. ] Darryl> [ Sorry for the delay in responding, but I've been on a short trip. ] -- Adrian Aichner Applications Engineer Teradyne GmbH Semiconductor Test Group Telephone +49/89/41861(0)-208 Dingolfinger Strasse 2 Fax +49/89/41861-217 D-81673 MUENCHEN E-mail aichner(a)ecf.teradyne.com
