The file lisp/obsolete/lucid.el has an implementation of extent-at that may or may not work for you. So try simply (require 'lucid) With a 6+ year-old package obviously designed for XEmacs, there may well be other problems though. As you can tell from the "obsolete" part, lucid.el has not seen (and will not see) much attention, so don't be surprised if it doesn't work right.
