How to load No Gnus?

How to load No Gnus?

[Igor Sosa Mayor]

Hi,

i'm trying to load No Gnus with the last git version but something is
not really working because
M-x gnus-version 
says that i'm still in gnus 5.13

1. I have the git version
2. I did 
git checkout n0-13 

3. I put:
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/abs/gnus/lisp/")
(load "gnus-load")
in my gnus.el

but gnus is still Gnus v5.13

any hints?

thx in advance! and thx for Gnus!

Igor

Does that work? I have this in my ~/.emacs.d/init.el:

  (setq load-path (cons (expand-file-name "~/elisp/gnus/lisp") load-path))

not really...

gnus-version is still saying I'm in v5.13

but maybe no gnus was loaded because I'm getting now an error when I
try to connect to imap:

nnimap+listas:gnus error: BAD Unknown command f10if8269198ybn.11

thx in any case!

On non-obsolete Emacsen (e.g. any that can run No Gnus)

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/elisp/gnus/lisp")

should be preferable.

Cheers,

I have the impression No Gnus is somehow loading, because I can't load
imap groups. I have to comment the lines and load v5.13 then anything
is okay again...

make sure you add gnus to your load-path before it gets loaded/required
by something else.

is it at the head of your load-path?
if it's somewhere around the end, the default libraries will be used
instead.

My, how progress marches on. Thanks!

One dead sure hill billy method (FOR TEMPORARY TESTING ONLY)is to
rename the gnus/ directory that comes with your emacs (where version
v5.13 is bundled):

  Since you are on linux it might be found here:

/usr/share/emacs/24.0.50/gnus

So you might:
mv /usr/share/emacs/24.0.50/gnus /usr/share/emacs/24.0.50/gnusX

That will prevent that version loading and go on to any other versions
in the path.

So just for testing purposes you could find out what is going on that
way.
