What does it say when you hit `?'? That is taken from the message buffer. I don't get the debugger buffer unless I create it from another error. If I hit '?" to TAB I get the following: SPC:Select n:Forward DEL:Backward q:Exit C-c TAB:Run Info ?:This help [2 times] indent-relative: Buffer is read-only: # >> Could the "end of file during parsing" be corruption in the >> ~/.newsrc.eld file?

I could not find any obvious problem in the .newsrc.eld file. I tried copying a .newsrc.eld file from a backup prior to the error starting and find the same error. > Some more guesses: > > - Do you have (gnus-compile) in your ~/.gnus.el?

I started an install of Fedora 17 and don't think I did anything in the home partition, but can't guaranteee it. -- Stephen Harker s.harker@adfa.edu.au PEMS http://sjharker.customer.netspace.net.au/ UNSW@ADFA
