I have
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq gnus-home-directory "~/.gnus.d/"
gnus-init-file "~/.gnus.d/gnus.el"
message-directory (expand-file-name "Mail/" gnus-home-directory))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
in my emacs.el file and all gnus related files are in this directory.
Cheers,
Rainer
