Subject: bug in 22.0.50.1 ?? no rmailgen.el
Date: Sat, 26 Aug 2006 12:33:48 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <44F077EC.2000607@speakeasy.net> (raw)

$ emacs  --debug-init &

Backtrace shows:

(The "..."-- third to last line above-- is a long string of 'garbage'
characters that won't paste.)

Looking at ~/.gnu-emacs shows:

;; 8. Load package [REQUIRED].
(if (file-exists-p "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/rmailgen.el")
    (require 'rmailgen))

This section of code is looking at another install of emacs.  The emacs
installation in question (the one reporting error on) has no
rmailgen.el* in its file tree.

(Note: I would think that the installation routine shouldn't assume that
emacs will be installed under /usr/share/emacs/.)
