I'm having some problems with Gnus v5.6.35:
1. Start emacs, start gnus with 'M-x gnus'. Here's the resulting
*Messages* buffer:
Loading gnus (compiled)...
Loading cus-face (compiled)...
Loading cus-face (compiled)...done
Symbol's function definition is void: gnus-get-buffer-create
I think the problem is
(eval-when (load)
(let ((command (format "%s" this-command)))
(if (and (string-match "gnus" command)
(not (string-match "gnus-other-frame" command)))
(gnus-splash)
(get-buffer-create gnus-group-buffer))))
gnus-splash calls gnus-get-buffer-create, which hasn't been loaded in
yet.
--------------------------------
2. Start emacs, load gnus.elc manually, start gnus with 'M-x gnus'.
Everything starts up as it should, so I read news for a bit, then quit
with 'q'.
Are you sure you want to quit reading news? (y or n)
If I hit 'y', then it saves my changes, but doesn't kill the *Group*
buffer. The problem may be with the variable gnus-buffers; after
starting gnus, opening one group, reading one article, then quitting
that group, gnus-buffers looks like:
(#<buffer *Article*> #<buffer *Original Article*> #<killed buffer> #<killed buffer> #<buffer *gnus work*> #<buffer .newsrc-dribble>)
#<buffer *Group*> is absent from this list. Indeed, it isn't even in
the list immediately after starting gnus.
--------------------------------
2a. If I then select a newsgroup (which I probably shouldn't do, since
I've quit gnus), it says
Wrong type argument: listp, 317222
(The number changed depending on the group.)
--------------------------------
3. Start emacs, load gnus.elc manually, start gnus with 'M-x gnus',
quit with 'q', then run gnus again with 'M-x gnus'. I am told:
Checking new news...
Checking new news...done
No news is no news
This is patently false: I know that I have unread messages in some
mail groups.
