Error while decoding: (void-function base64-decode-region)

Error while decoding: (void-function base64-decode-region)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 554 bytes --]

Platform: XEmacs 21.1 (patch 8) "Bryce Canyon" [Lucid] (i386-suse-linux, Mule)
	Oort Gnus v0.04 (current checkout)

Basically what I've done is
	cd gnus
	cvs up -dP
	./configure
	make EMACS=xemacs.

I get this message in the minibuffer:
	Error while decoding: (void-function base64-decode-region)
when I try opening the attached email.

As far as I can tell, I haven't got base64-decode-region anywhere.
I've got base64-decode, base64-decode-chunk, and base64-decode-string,
but not base64-decode-region.

Is there a workaround/fix?

Thanx!

Does it help to update your mail-lib package?

Huh?  "mail-lib", what's that?

The disk on my laptop crashed on Thursday.  I'm working on
reconstructing the system.  I may not have gotten everything in.

It's the XEmacs package containing base64.el.  Maybe the version you
got is old and didn't include base64-decode-region?  Gnus used to ship
a modern base64.el, but I think it has been moved to gnus/contrib/ now.

locate-library on base64 gave me a site-lisp version of base64.el
which was from at least May 19 1998 (it may be older, but it wasn't
newer). 

After I moved that away it found the base64.elc delivered with xemacs,
and everything was dandy.

Thanx!
