Hello Hrvoje,

You may laugh, but I have not as yet suceeded in 
getting on work the 5.8.2 gnus version.

Let me explain what is done:

The first installation went for xy reasons wrong.

Consequently I fired a script Robin was so kind
letting me have:

#!/bin/sh
# NQA suicidal Gnus script - use at your own risk!
## Definition des Quell- und der Zielverzeichnisse
BACKUPDIR=/usr/tmp/gnus.BACKUP
SOURECEDIR=/usr/tmp/gnus-5.8.2/                   # IST ES DA???
TARGET_TOP=/usr/local/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/
TARGET_ELISP=$TARGET_TOP/lisp/
TARGET_ETC=$TARGET_TOP/etc/
TARGET_INFO=$TARGET_TOP/info/

## Gnus bauen
cd $SOURECEDIR && ./configure && make EMACS=xemacs
echo "Gnus built"

## Backup machen
mkdir $BACKUPDIR/info/
mv $TARGET_ELISP/gnus   $BACKUPDIR
mv $TARGET_ETC/gnus     $BACKUPDIR
mv $TARGET_INFO/gnus*   $BACKUPDIR/info/
echo "Backup done"

## Symlinks legen
cd $TARGET_ELISP        && ln -s $SOURECEDIR/ gnus
cd $TARGET_ETC          && ln -s $SOURCEDIR/etc/gnus/ gnus
cd $TARGET_INFO         && ln -s $SOURCEDIR/texi/gnus* .
echo "symlinks made"
## EOF ==================================================

OK, this worked perfectly, now I have:

In:

/usr/tmp/gnus-5.8.2 what has been absolutly
correctly compiled and:

in:

/usr/local/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/gnus/gnus-5.8.2/lisp/

other files, which seems to be indentical with the above.

Now I want to link all this with ln -s:

I guess 

ln -s usr/tmp/gnus-5.8.2/lisp/ ls -s /usr/local/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/gnus/gnus-5.8.2/lisp/

should be the link. 

Is this correct ???

Secondly:

Do I have to enter the following path in ~/.emacs

setq load-path (cons (expand-file-name

    "/usr/local/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/gnus/gnus-5.8.2/lisp")
                      load-path))  

BTW I have meanwhile also upgraded my xemacs version to Bryce Canyon
which works fine....

I would be pleased using now this new version. Unfortunately
all this is not quite transparent...

Many thanks for your help

Regards
