I did not look at the details again since I did not have time to fix this. I notice that C-h v takes me to the Emacs install tree I am using and C-h f takes me to the CVS checkout tree where I compiled Emacs. > >> Personally, I'd prefer something like the following in both cases: > >> > >> (unless (or (eq file-name 'C-source) > >> (file-exists-p file-name)) > >> (setq file-name (find-source-lisp-file file-name))) > > > > Thanks martin.

I'm too lazy to look > into this ... I have seen no problems with the C sources. I always get to the CVS checkout tree from C-h v,f. I did not even know they could be copied when you do make install.
