 I built GNU18.50 on a machine with the following value in Makefile
  	LIBDIR=/misc/dist-18.50
 The src/paths.h file gets the follwoing values in it.
	#define PATH_LOADSEARCH "/misc/dist-18.50/lisp"
	#define PATH_EXEC "/misc/dist-18.50/etc"
 On the machine where I did the build, xemacs runs just fine.


 BUT, when I run this xemacs on my machine, xemacs gives the
following messages before starting up.
	Warning: lisp library (/misc/dist-18.50/lisp) does not exist.
	Warning: executable/documentation dir (/misc/dist-18.50/etc/) does not exist.
 This is despite the fact I have the original /misc/dist-18.50 directory
NFS-mounted on my system as /xemacs and in my ENV, I set
        EMACSLOADPATH=/xemacs/lisp
In my .emacs, I also do
     	(setq load-path (list "/xeamcs/lisp/"))
   	(setq exec-directory  "/xemacs/etc/")
   	(setq Info-directory  "/xemacs/info/")
 but the problem still persists.


 The only way the warning gets suppressed is when the NFS mounting is done
on my system also as /misc/dist-18.50. Anything else is no good.

 Can someone tell me how can I make gnu forget what paths was it built with
and read the info it needs from where *I* ask it to?

 Thanks
