(I wanted to tinker with it myself, but failing to make it fail made me write here instead :-)) > Were the involved XEmacsen (the buildbot one and yours) configured with > --with-mule? IIRC, it's not the default. Good question. I don't know about the buildbot, I think my local one was, because the binary is called "xemacs-21.5-b31-mule". So if the buildbot's binary is non-mule, it might be a problem only for non-mule XEmacsen... o o o Oh, I just realized that I also have an XEmacs 21.4 installed (Debian package). "make EMACS=/usr/bin/xemacs-21.4.22-mule" in a fresh Gnus checkout fails like this: Generating autoloads for lisp/gnus-spec.el... Unbalanced parentheses xemacs exiting If I roll back the changes to gnus-spec.el, it completes the 'make' without error. Interesting, now I have something to tinker with, even though it only is the old version. Best regards, Adam -- "Hur långt man än har kommit Adam Sjøgren är det alltid längre kvar" asjo@koldfront.dk
