This seems to be a problem caused by Calc--could you please investigate?

Well if I could build the cvs version....

make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/home/robert/packages/emacs/emacs/src/../lisp/custom.elc', needed by `../etc/DOC'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/robert/packages/emacs/emacs/src'
make: *** [src] Error 2
This is after

make distclean
./configure
make bootstrap
(and during that last make)

The problems I guess starts with these lines

Compiling /home/robert/packages/emacs/emacs/lisp/byte-run.el
Wrote /home/robert/packages/emacs/emacs/lisp/byte-run.elc

There's certainly a calc.el in /home/robert/packages/emacs/emacs/lisp/calc/

I'm sorry this was a problem caused by me! Apologies for any alarm caused
I had a mix of latest cvs and the labelled EMACS_21_1_RC

I've just got a clean version and it does build ok, it also clears the bug
which caused emacs to crash when loading a gif in a VM email buffer - the
gif doesn't difplay well - it has bands of frame background between bands
of gif - sort of zebra crossing effect to use a UK example.
But the crash is fixed

Would you please send a bug report for this new bug?
It isn't a crash, but it is still a bug.

Can you please send me that GIF image so I can explore it carefully?

Thank you.

OK, this issue is cleared now. It is VM bug and Robert will take it to
appropriate VM list.
