- I have just compiled lemacs 19.3. I tested it in the ..src/ directory and
- everything was fine. However when I moved the binary to /usr/local/bin it could
- no longer find its startup files. The library was in /usr/local/lib/emacs.
-
- It turns out that if the /usr/local/etc directory exists, it looks in there for
- its DOC file. Moving the etc to etc.old fixes the problem.
- Having seen the patch to startup.el, I applied that, but to no avail. I also
- looked at the lisp code in that function, but can't work out why it isn't checking
- the correct directory.
-
- Has anyone seen this ? Fixed it ? ;-)
