It works great under XEmacs, though. What could DA> the problem be? I don't know if any of what I'm about to mention will fix your problems, but I'd like to point out a couple of things that I hope you are already aware of... o When building Gnus you should always do so via `make'. By just byte-recompiling the lisp directory you will, amongst other things, be missing out on re-building the autoloads (which could have changed since your last build). o A Gnus built with GNU/Emacs _*CAN NOT*_ be used in XEmacs and vice verse. The two Emacsen generate different incompatible byte-code. [1] o If there are things in contrib/ that you want, symlink, copy, or move them into the lisp/ directory prior to running `make'. Footnotes: [1] If you run both GNU/Emacs and XEmacs their respective load-path's shouldn't overlap. Or if you do have directories common to both Emacsen's load-path, those directories shouldn't contain any byte-compiled lisp. It's just not worth the trouble. -- |---------------------| | Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. | | The proof of the pudding, is under the crust. | |---------------------------------| --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Eicq - The XEmacs ICQ Client iEYEABECAAYFAj//FBoACgkQHSfbS6lLMAP/VwCeP5dVSt786yjSDJG1brhkVHK5 RbAAoIZJCtWg2s7rDGPmHjxcdF/snsi+ =Rnom -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
