I'm installing Gnus from CVS. Most XEmacs users probably use the
packaged version which has an installation of its own. As for why *I* didn't
notice the problem earlier, I just figured it out:
I had the xemacs package version installed in
/usr/local/share/xemacs/xemacs-packages/, and the CVS one in
/usr/local/share/xemacs/site-packages/ until yesterday. My site-packages Gnus
couldn't find its own etc/ directory (presumably since Feb 2005), but found
the xemacs-package installation ... Weird hey ? That's because etc/ discovery
is made by scanning the load-path which contained the two installation places.
