As per readme I ran make in the sgnus-0.26 directory. My stripped down
.emacs looks like the following::


(setq load-path (cons (concat (getenv "HOME") "/ding/sgnus-0.26/lisp") load-path))
(setq debug-on-error t)


When I then ESC ESC (load "gnus") I get the following error:

Signalling: (void-variable \`)
  (defconst gnus-group-line-format-alist \` ((77 gnus-tmp-marked-mark 99) (83 gnus-tmp-subscribed 99) (76 gnus-tmp-level 100) (78 gnus-tmp-number 115) (82 gnus-tmp-number-of-read 115) (116 gnus-tmp-number-total 115) (121 gnus-tmp-number-of-unread 115) (73 ... 100) (84 ... 100) (105 ... 100) (103 gnus-tmp-group 115) (71 gnus-tmp-qualified-group 115) (99 ... 115) (68 gnus-tmp-newsgroup-description 115) (111 gnus-tmp-moderated 99) (79 gnus-tmp-moderated-string 115) (112 gnus-tmp-process-marked 99) (115 gnus-tmp-news-server 115) (110 gnus-tmp-news-method 115) (80 gnus-topic-indentation 115) (122 gnus-tmp-news-method-string 115) (117 gnus-tmp-user-defined 115)))
  load("gnus")
  eval((load "gnus"))
  eval-expression((load "gnus"))
  call-interactively(eval-expression)
  disabled-command-hook()
  run-hooks(disabled-command-hook)


Oh yes "emacs 19.28.1" runing on a sparc on Sun OS 3.1.4.

Help appreciated

Regards,

Steve Morris

Actually the byte-compile errors during make may be informative to someone
else. Sorry for the size of this post but I don't know what might be critical
to evaluating this bug.

I think the problem will go away if you (load "cl") before loading
gnus.

September Gnus is not supported on Emacs 19.28.  You need 19.29 or
later.  Sorry.
