This not really a non standard installation, it is documented in INSTALL since always, I use this installation to manage different Emacs versions (the executables in sbin/emacs-xxx are symlinked in bin). I am not sure also if everything is working properly with a "standard" installation, i.e. in /usr/local/bin, is in this case the native-lisp dir found? > A possible solution is to set EMACSNATIVELOADPATH in the environment.
