The really strange thing is, that on the first (good) machine there is no error when I start gnus form "emacs -Q" while on the second (bad) machine, gnus is complaining (the same error message) even if it is was started from an emacs with no config loaded (i.e. emacs -Q). Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong??? How I should even start fixing it. emacs -Q already tried. reinstalling emacs also tried I was asking around #emacs on freenode, but since I switched to ERC recently, and was trying to fix this error, I always disconnected from IRC before seeing any answers :( (stupid me) Best regards, Emil
