I can't compile Emacs to display the X-face in Gnus anymore. I'm using latest checkout No Gnus, am compiling GNU Emacs latest bzr checkout. The latest version I've compiled that displays the X-face was 100410, after that all the versions I'm compiling, I get just a box for - empty frame instead of the X-face displayed in the message header in Gnus. Sometimes the lines around the not-displayed X-face flicker a bit noticeably, and I have to exit Gnus after displaying such a message since it's stuck somehow. When I start the old compiled Emacs, it displays the X-face properly in the message, this is with the same .emacs, so it's not a config issue. I have compface and netpbm so it shouldn't be a problem with them. It's not a question of Emacs version, as just now I went back and recompiled the 100410 and sure enough it doesn't display the X-face, so it must've been something I had set up at compilation time then that's changed, but don't know which. Thought it was maybe ImageMagick associated but I didn't have ImageMagick available when compiling it then, and even now if I have it or don't have it installed during compilation, doesn't make a difference... and gnus-article-x-face-command is set to `gnus-display-x-face-in-from' - the default, not changed via config, so it's not calling imagemagick. I'm out of ideas, what the hell could it be? The reason it's important is I need to compile Emacs now for a different PC and can't compile it so that Gnus then shows the X-face, so it's not a PC architecture thing, I'm overlooking some requirements during configure but not sure what. Anyone have an idea? Thanks a lot for any help. -- JJ
