Hi,
I am using the gnus pacakage supplied with xemacs 20.4. I wanted to
use a newer one. How do i go about it. 
I mean after downloading the package, do ihave to delete the older
package or will there be an upgrade script or something.I am on linux.
thanks and regards
prateek

Gnus comes with a configure script.  Say "./configure --help" for
information, then call the script for real (with the right switches).
Then "make", then "make install".  I think there's also an INSTALL
file with installation instructions.

Please install the new Gnus version in some directory _other_ than the
one the original Gnus lives in.  Then, use

(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/dir/with/gnus/el/files/")

to tell Emacs about it.
