Subject: Gnus v5.10.6 not working on GNU Emacs 21.3.1
Date: 28 May 2004 12:00:10 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ufz9kyiqd.fsf@laposte.net> (raw)
Hi,
I've many troubles trying to use Gnus v5.10.6 (downloaded from official
site) in GNU Emacs 21.3.1.
While my ~/.gnus worked in Emacs when I had Gnus v5.9.0, it does not
anymore, directly stating upon startup:
You should byte-compile Gnus
Loading gnus-start...done
Loading gnus-demon...done
Loading gnus-agent...
if: Symbol's value as variable is void: gnus-article-compface-xbm
1. If I add the following code to my .gnus ...
(defvar gnus-article-compface-xbm
(eq 0 (string-match "#define" (shell-command-to-string "uncompface -X")))
"Non-nil means the compface program supports the -X option.
That produces XBM output.")
(require 'gnus-art)
... I go a little further: I see the *Group* buffer, but I can't enter
in any of my nnfolders (in this example, the `mail.misc' folder):
Retrieving newsgroup: nnfolder:mail.misc...
gnus-summary-mode: Symbol's function definition is void:
mm-enable-multibyte-mule4
2. If I add the following code to my .gnus ...
(defun mm-enable-multibyte-mule4 ()
"Enable multibyte in the current buffer.
Only used in Emacs Mule 4."
(set-buffer-multibyte t))
(defalias 'mm-enable-multibyte-mule4 'ignore)
(require 'mm-util)
... I now can enter in my `mail.misc' folder, but can't get out anymore
(by pressing `q'). Aaarrrggghh!
Retrieving newsgroup: nnfolder:mail.misc...
Fetching headers for nnfolder:mail.misc...done
Making sparse threads...done
Sorting threads...done
Generating summary...done
Loading gnus-salt...done
Loading gnus-async...done
gnus-summary-update-info: Symbol's value as variable is void:
gnus-newsgroup-forwarded
I know my tries are really brute hacks, as I don't know the whole system
good enough, and as I'm not (yet) a Lisp programmer.
Can someone help me making this configuration (latest Gnus on latest
Emacs) work?
Many thanks,
Fabrice Niessen
