If you get an error, what is it? It cannot be found. The load-path is set correctly to the emacs24 directories under /usr/local, and I've had "(require 'bbdb)" in my ~/.emacs. There are files apparently having to do with bbdb among those "make install" puts under /usr/local, yet there is no file "bbdb.el" or "bbdb.elc". --- I still have emacs23 installed, which comes with bbdb (as in /usr/share/emacs23/site-lisp/bbdb/bbdb.el etc.). So I guess bbdb isn't part of emacs. I pulled bbdb from the git repository, and the documentation that comes with it says you need something like "(require 'bbdb-loaddefs "/path/to/bbdb-loaddefs.el")" in your ~/.emacs to enable it. --- I put that in, and it's working now. It's a makeshift solution, though, because I have bbdb in my home directory rather than /usr/local/share because I'm not sure where it should actually be when it's under /usr/local. The info docs of gnus still say "(require 'bbdb)", btw. Perhaps they need an update? >> The gnus-compile function in my ~/.gnus doesn't seem to exist >> anymore.
