It seems that the URLDIR was being set to ...emacs/23.2... -- as you noted -- because I apparently (!) have neglected to run ./configure in the gnus directory (for a *very* long while...) following my "git pull"s. Anyhow, the issue I wrote about isn't completely gone, but I think (?) it is perhaps not so interesting for this list. (When a certain piece of hardware -- a USB hub -- is attached, various things "break". e.g. "Suspend"ing the laptop doesn't work correctly. And oddly enough, running gnus freezes emacs -- even emacs23 -- if (and only if) the USB hub is connected. I guess it has nothing real to do with gnus, but I haven't managed to work out what it *does* have to do with. Anyhow, it was easy enough to unplug the hub...so the problem doesn't seem too urgent.) best, gm -- ,------- | George McNinch | http://gmcninch.math.tufts.edu `-------
