Two suggestions:

* Are you sure, that you've installed Gnus correctly?  I.e. with
  './configure; make'.  Does `M-x list-load-path-shadows' reveal
  anything shadowing Oort?

* Try to put `(require 'gnus-load)' in your .emacs.

This MIGHT have had something to do with it, but anyways I managed to
solve the problem. A search on google on the errormessage reported
someone having the same problem due to flim. Removing that (which I
don't need anyway), removed the error. Wheee :-)

Maybe because emacs-w3m comes with Shimbun, and Shimbun needs FLIM to
work.  But I don't have the RPM at hand, so I can't check.
