Since neither prims.el nor sources.el are part of either the standard lisp distribution of GNU Emacs or that of GNUS, this is erroneous information. Deven was quite correct in stating that GNUS must be loaded first; there are no macros defined in either gnuspost.el or gnusmisc.el, though, so you don't need to have them loaded too.
