This looks to me as if the compiled gnus-agent.elc file would not correspond to the gnus-agent.el file. Hmm cd /usr/local/gnus ./configure one output line makes me wonder if things go right: checking where .elc files should go... $(datadir)/emacs/site-lisp make Despite the line shown above the *.elc files in /usr/local/gnus/lisp/ do get rewritten. restart emacs and gnus Same result as before: Different output of (gnus-category-read) before and after loading gnus-agent.el. I have double checked gnus-agent-directory. It is the same in both cases. load-path's value is ("/usr/local/gnus/lisp" ... ) ls -l /usr/local/gnus/lisp/gnus-agent.el* [ ... ] 128524 Mar 4 06:10 /usr/local/gnus/lisp/gnus-agent.el [ ... ] 93531 Mar 4 14:03 /usr/local/gnus/lisp/gnus-agent.elc I don't understand what's happening here.
