I use Emacs from CVS and Gnus from CVS.  I have the following code in
~/.emacs to set up load-path and suchlike:

;; Gnus
(when (file-directory-p "~/work/gnu/gnus/")
  (add-to-list 'load-path "~/work/gnu/gnus/lisp/")
  (require 'gnus-load)
  (require 'gnus-namazu "../contrib/gnus-namazu")
  (add-to-list 'Info-default-directory-list "~/work/gnu/gnus/texi/"))

Further Gnus configuration is in ~/.gnus.

I recently had to add (load "netrc") to the beginning of that file to
make things work.

I think a similar issue was discussed in the thread "Problems with
reading mail via imap".

Shouldn't gnus-load arrange for the right netrc to be loaded?

[time passes]

Ah!  It turns out that I require dired and dired-x earlier on in my
~/.emacs file.  Never thought that those would interfere.

So is it pilot error after all?
