When I installed a fresh gnus this evening, I initially tried exactly these assignments of values to the EMACS, LISPDIR, and INFORDIR variables. But then it turned out that there were two gnusae installed within the Carbon Emacs package, namely the one in /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/site-lisp/gnus and one in /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/gnus. The initial load-path seems to be configured so that packages in /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp come before packages in /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/site-lisp (except for auctex). How should I understand the difference between the two lisp directories in the Carbon Emacs package. John: I see that wanderlust is installed in /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/site-lisp so you should not have the same problem that I did. Jesse -- Jesse Alama (alama****@stanf*****)
