Folks: I just built XEmacs 21.5.28 on GNU/OpenSolaris (Nexenta). I hit the problem and used the fix described herein: http://calypso.tux.org/pipermail/xemacs-beta/2007-July/011615.html Now I think I have a problem with packages or with lisp paths. I tried to use efs to get packages, by executing M-x package-get-all (or any other "package-get-" function), then it says "Symbol's value as variable is void: allow-remote-paths". One wrinkle is that I configured it with "./configure --prefix=/usr/ local/stow/xemacs-21.5.28", and then later ran "cd /usr/local/stow && sudo stow -v xemacs-21.5.28", which means that the path by which xemacs is being launched is /usr/local/bin/xemacs, which is a symlink to /usr/local/stow/xemacs-21.5.28/bin/xemacs. Thanks in advance for any help!
