- I built and installed the new release with no problem. However, when I
- went to run the installed version I ran into a couple of problems:
-
- 1. It initially could not find the lisp and etc directories. Here's how
- I had it installed:
-
- /usr/local/bin/xemacs
- /usr/local/emacs is a symbolic link to /local/emacs
- /local/emacs/lisp
- /local/emacs/info
- /local/emacs/lock
- /local/emacs/etc
-
- My guess is that the symbolic link confused it. But this setup used
- to work with 19.3. I fixed it by creating the following links:
-
- /usr/local/bin/lisp is a symbolic link to /local/emacs/lisp
- /usr/local/bin/info is a symbolic link to /local/emacs/info
- /usr/local/bin/lock is a symbolic link to /local/emacs/lock
- /usr/local/bin/etc is a symbolic link to /local/emacs/etc
-
- 2. My .emacs file explicitly loaded gmhist and gmhist-app but I got an
- error when loading gmhist-app. Something about keep-lines being to
- complicated for gmhist. I commented out the loading of gmhist and
- gmhist-app and everything was okay. What happened here?
-
- 3. When being prompted for a filename in find-file I see /home/skip/
- instead of ~/. How do I get the old behavior back?
-
- 4. When starting vm with no INBOX file I get an error. Vm still works,
- it's just annoying to get the error message. This was happening in
- 19.3 too. I was hoping this would get fixed.
-
- Don't get me wrong, I think Jamie and his crew is doing an excellent
- job. Keep up the good work guys!
