Hi,
currently I am using XEmacs, but I would like to replace it with
Emacs. So I installed Emacs 21.2.1 (Debian woody). I also installed Oort
Gnus 0.08 (the Debian package from Manoj Srivastava[1]).
When doing `M-x gnus', I get this backtrace[2]:
[-- Attachment #2: backtrace --]
[-- Type: application/octet-stream, Size: 2738 bytes --]
[-- Attachment #3: Type: text/plain, Size: 124 bytes --]
Any hints?
TIA,
Christoph

Hard to say since the code is bytecompiled, but as the error seems to
occur after the require(mm-util), is the a file mm-util.el in your loadpath?

This looks like byte compilation error to me. They are usually caused
by compiling elisp with one flavour of emacs and using it with
another. Is the gnus package byte compiling gnus correctly for all
your installed emacsen?

If you do M-x locate-library RET mm-util.elc RET and open the file and
look at it, it should (preferrably) have a header corresponding to the
emacs version you use.
Another idea is that the gnus package isn't built properly using the
distributed makefiles so it hasn't loaded the proper libraries to pick
up macros etc.

Hm. I tested the same gnus package with Emacs 20, and everything is
fine. Very strange.
