Hello, In order to apply this patch http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.general/84718 I am trying to use gnus from git. I cloned the repository and compiled it, but when I try to start gnus I get this backtrace: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function gnus-get-text-property-excluding-characters-with-faces) gnus-get-text-property-excluding-characters-with-faces(1 face) gnus-group-highlight-line("dummy.group" 1 23) gnus-group-insert-group-line("dummy.group" 0 nil 0 nil) gnus-update-group-mark-positions() gnus-group-mode() gnus-group-setup-buffer() gnus-group-list-groups(nil) Note that I have not applied the patch yet, this is happening with a fresh clone of the repository. I'm using emacs 24.3.1. Is this a (known) bug? Thanks a lot, Alan -- OpenPGP Key ID : 040D0A3B4ED2E5C7
