- The only reply I've got is that I have to make a change in path.h! That's
- something I already knew. The problem is, I'm running on VMS here, and
- recompiling take's a LOT of time, whereas just rebuilding the dump file takes
- much less, so I thought it was a good idea to change the load-path in
- site-init.el .
-
- By looking at the source, I found out that load-path is ALWAYS reinitialized,
- either it has already been loaded with the rest of the dump-file or not! This
- is, IMHO, a bug! Further discussion (if any) will be held in gnu.emacs.bug.
