I did:
cvs -d :pserver:gnus@quimby.gnus.org:/usr/local/cvsroot co gnus
cd gnus
./configure
make EMACS=xemacs
(using XEmacs 20.4), I got the following error messages all over the
place:
While compiling toplevel forms in file /home/sb/src/install/gnus/lisp/nnvirtual.el:
!! File error (("Cannot open load file" "timer"))
The files that got this compilation message were not byte compiled. I
checked that nnvirtual.el got successfully byte compiled from my last
checkout from the pgnus repository (Gnus v5.8.0, as reported by
gnus-version).

Quick-and-dirty-fix: I just grabbed timer.el from the Emacs 20.4
distribution that came with RedHat 6.1 and dropped it in with the gnus
source. XEmacs 20.4 didn't come with a timer.el.

No no no no no! Don't do that. timer.el from FSF Emacs will _not_
work with XEmacs.
A real quick&dirty fix would be to get the "fsf-compat" XEmacs
package, which includes a timer.el implementation that uses itimers.
nnvirtual.el should be fixed to not require timer.el under XEmacs.

Not just nnvirtual.el. *Lots* of files in the 2.8.1 (or whatever) CVS
checkout.
But the interesting bit is that the last pgnus checkout I've got
(which I'm running now), did _not_ require timer.el.

Is anybody else seeing \370 at that spot in John's message? It is
(correctly) labeled iso-8859-1 and CTE is 8bit, so why does Gnus not
show this character?

Never mind. It is labeled iso-8851-1, not iso-8859-1. Ook.

I had a typo in my .gnus.el... fixed now :) Aparently this typo caused
a Microsoft server to go insane.

But where do I find fsf-compat?
Google found me
http://dev.linuxppc.org/RPMS/users-gdt/noarch/xemacs_package-fsf-compat-1.05-1a.noarch.html
which would work for me with SuSE 6.2, but none of the ftp URLs to the
actual RPMs are working.
I did not find anything about fsf-compat on http://www.xemacs.org/
I did find something on rpmfind.net...
http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/powertools/6.1/sparc/usr_lib_xemacs_xemacs-packages_lisp_fsf-compat_Tree.html
but quite _what_ this was, I'm not sure.
