I can only remember some of the errors I got: In the gnus/etc Makefile, "ln -s . images" produces an error if you're using freshly downloaded sources rather than just updating via CVS, since the directory "images" exists. More fun with the actual installation process: Commands like "/sw/bin/install -c -m 644 *.xpm /Users/emilyjac/share/emacs/site-lisp/../etc/images/gnus/*.xpm" fail with "cannot stat file" or "last argument is not a directory" (this is the GNU version of install from GNU fileutils). I finally had to install the images and smilies manually; I think I'll wait about 6 months before I try updating Gnus again. :-\ Emily -- "If it seem slow, wait for it; it will surely come, it will not delay."
