Immediately after starting Emacs, I visit the file `foo' with no trouble. Then I try to visit an alternate file, `bar', which also exists using the command `C-x C-v' (find-alternate-file). I am unable to visit the alternate file; instead, I receive the message call-interactively: Symbol's value as variable is void: dired-directory I can visit the alternate file successfully if I give the `dired-directory' symbol a value with the `setq' command: (setq dired-directory nil) For some reason, the autoload for `dired-directory' in the emacs/lisp/dired.el library is not being loaded into loaddefs.el. (This is a fresh instance of loaddefs.el, retrieved from CVS with the rest of the update this morning.) However, after I run `update-file-autoloads' on the emacs/lisp/dired.el library and then rebuild Emacs, I can visit the alternate file. What needs to be done? -- Robert J.
