Thanks a lot for your above explanantions. I just upgraded as per
your above imstructions.

Compiling and make EMACS=xemacs did represent absolutly no problems.
Worked fine, without error messages. 

In ~/.emacs I have added:

(setq load-path (cons "/path/to/gnus/gnus-5.8.2/lisp" load-path))

I fired with M-x gnus to find out wether I will see " Bryce Canyon",
region I know quite well, but I am still getting the "old" version
ie. 5.5.

Is something wrong with my path ? 

I am running a SuSE 6.1. 

Xemacs is if I am not wrong in /usr/X11R6/lib/xemacs-20.4/etc/gnus/gnus

Any a idea why I am still on trhe old version ?

Many thanks for your help

Regards
