Except that it has to work, because the `push' statements evaluates to
that. Watch this:
(macroexpand
'(push (expand-file-name "~lconrd/src/gnus-5.8.2/lisp") load-path))
==> (setq load-path (cons (expand-file-name "~lconrd/src/gnus-5.8.2/lisp")
load-path))
Maybe the problem is that I didn't stress the use of
`expand-file-name' in my last example. I thought I'd convey the
message that the path is absolute by using /path/to/.../. Obviously,
the message didn't get across.
In XEmacs 21.2 the load-path searching bug has been fixed and you no
longer have to expand the file name before use -- XEmacs does that for
you.
