You'd better stick with the current stable aka GNU Emacs 21.4 I'm using Ubuntu 7.04 and noticed some packages state emacs21 as a dependency. So not sure if that means they're not compatible with the snapshot version. It is unlikely that a working package with 21.x won't work with 22.x The pipe dream would be a setup something like this: http://platypope.org/yada/emacs-demo/ What is it supposed to show ? It seems it is a Flash=C2=A9 content, doesn't it ?=20 Xavier
