When I try to read gnus with the new version, I get the message: Connecting to nntp server on (which is normal) followed by: Host " not responding. which is not. When I run the old version I have no problem with gnus. The only thing I can think of that could be causing the problem is that I did not install the new emacs--I just ran "make all" in the src tree, and am running it from the "xemacs" in .../gnu/emacs/src. Does anyone know if this is indeed capable of causing this type of problem, and why? I was planning on just moving the new version into /usr/local/bin, do I need to run "make install" instead? Do I need to do a "make clean" first? The only routine changed was xfixscreen(). I noticed that emacs was dumped as "xemacs" and "emacs.18.54.5", and that the previous 4 times I had compiled it had apparently created "emacs.18.54.1-4". What is the significance of this? Does it mean that "emacs.18.54.5" is looking for lib in /usr/local/emacs.18.54.5?
