(add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/local/gnus/lisp")

might work better.

User-Agent: Gnus/5.1003 (Gnus v5.10.3) Emacs/21.2 (gnu/linux)

Do the following:

M-x gnus-version

Should say Gnus v5.10.3

Hi,

thanks again to all for your help. I reinstalled Emacs and Gnus over
the weekend and now everything is working fine!
