Can't build pgnus with XEmacs 20.4

Can't build pgnus with XEmacs 20.4

[Han Pilmeyer]

Hi,

I've not followed the updates to pgnus for a while. Now I would like
to continue by building the latest version. However I found that I'm
getting errors when I try to build any version later than 0.30
(probably starting with 0.32 when gnus-widget-button-keymap was
introduced).

These are the some of the messages I see:

Compiling /home/unix/han/tmp/pgnus-0.76/lisp/earcon.el...
While compiling toplevel forms in file
	/home/unix/han/tmp/pgnus-0.76/lisp/earcon.el:
  !! Symbol's value as variable is void ((widget-button-keymap))

I'm sure this must be something in my setup. Any ideas?

Cheers.

You probably have a badly out-of-date W3 package.

I wouldn't be surprised. Any idea where I can pick up a newer version?

Thanks!

Can anybody access that site? I've been trying to for about a week
now, with zero success. Does it have a mirror perhaps? Thanks.

I just copied the kit from this location within seconds.

Cheers.

That's funny. After reading your response, I telneted to another
system, and also downloaded the w3 files without any problems. Seems
like they (ftp.cs.indiana.edu) don't like my domain (which is
wave.home.com)... Although offtopic here, anybody has any ideas as to
why could this happen?

If the ftpd there wants reverse DNS mapping for its logfiles, and your 
rev.DNS service is poor or slow, it may just be timing out in the
search for your hostname.
