I think you misunderstood the question, but that *is* part of the answer.= :-) I was actually asking if there is a list of what packages 'should' be=20 installed in order for Emacs to act 'normal'. I also was looking for=20 something which will tell me how to install packages in the 'correct' way= =2E =20 For example, I don't believe psgml is installed in my cvs-built setup. I= =20 would like to install that, 'correctly'. =46rom browsing that (C-h p) list it looks as though a lack of packages i= s *not*=20 my primary problem. Here's an example of what's going on: When I open a= n=20 elisp file and select Options->Syntax Highlighting, I get an error messag= e in=20 the echo area saying: "Wrong type argument: commandp, (quote global-font-lock-mode)" The SuSE built emacs works find in the same user environment. Where'd I go wrong? This is similar to the problems I have with XEmacs wh= en I=20 don't have the packages available to the executable. > Sincerely, > > Luc. -- STH
