That did no good, and I don't use a ZDOTDIR.

Right now I have in .zshrc:

     fpath+=(~/.zfunc)

But I don't know if this is correct, because if I put, in .zshenv:

      export FPATH=fpath+=(~/.zfunc)

I get the warnings on startup again.  I don't get the warnings
if I comment out the

      export FPATH=

line in .zshenv.

Again the functions dir is:

That should be fine.

No, FPATH is a colon-delimited list of strings which is created by
contactenating the elements of the fpath array.  The above either
will choke with "unknown file attribute" or, if you've somehow
disabled globbing, store the useless string "fpath+=(~/.zfunc)" in 
both FPATH and fpath.

But that can't mean that I should put the following in .zshenv:

export \
FPATH=/usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Calendar:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Completion:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Completion/AIX:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Completion/BSD:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Completion/Base:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Completion/Cygwin:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Completion/Darwin:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Completion/Debian:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Completion/Linux:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Completion/Mandriva:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Completion/Redhat:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Completion/Unix:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Completion/X:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Completion/Zsh:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Exceptions:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/MIME:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Misc:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Newuser:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Prompts:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/TCP:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/VCS_Info:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/VCS_Info/Backends:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Zftp:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Zle:/u/q/.zfunc

I'm guessing there's got to be a way to shorten this.

Also, is it normal or okay for an installation of zsh on a FreeBSD system
to have all these Completion subdirs for all these other systems?? :

/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Zle
/u/q/.zfunc

Shouldn't the sysadmin leave the BSD Completion subdir in, and get rid of
the rest of them?  Should I tell him to do that?  Or does it matter?  Are
such extras typically left in?

I think I'm the only one on this small system (of only 30 or 40 logins at
any given time) who uses zsh.

Sorry -- I hadn't yet seen the following when I wrote that:

They're split up the way they are so that if necessary the unused ones
can be discarded, but as they're all loaded only on demand anyway, it
really doesn't make much difference if they're present unless you're
on an underpowered system where searching the directories slows down
command execution in a noticeable way.

It's probably safe to say that they're "typically left in" just because
they're part of the standard distribution and most packagers don't drop
bits and pieces when they redistribute.
