I'm wondering if I need to do anything in particular to tell Emacs where its files are after an install to a non-default location. I feel that I followed the instructions in the INSTALL file carefully, but I'm seeing signs that Emacs is maybe running with (some) old lisp files. I did the following: $ export DEVHOME=/data/projects/vc/ $ cd $DEVHOME $ bzr init-repo emacs/ $ cd emacs $ bzr branch bzr://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/emacs/trunk trunk $ cd trunk $ echo "public_branch = bzr://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/emacs/trunk" >> .bzr/branch/branch.conf $ bzr bind bzr://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/emacs/trunk $ ./autogen.sh $ ./configure --prefix=/home/nlj/local/ $ make bootstrap $ make $ sudo make install In addition to Emacs not knowing about all the variables beginning in "mm-", "M-x gnus-version" reports "v5.13", which is same version number that I get with my old version of Emacs which hasn't been updated for months. So I think I'm possibly seeing the old files for gnus, rather than the new ones in /home/nlj/local/share/emacs/24.3.50/lisp/gnus/. Actually. No. That is not exactly the case. I temporarily renamed that directory to /home/nlj/local/share/emacs/24.3.50/lisp/xx-gnus/ and restarted Emacs and tried to start Gnus again, and got the error "command-execute: Cannot open load file: no such file or directory, gnus", so Emacs _is_ looking in the right place, at least for Gnus, if not for the mime stuff. Note that running Emacs directly from the build directory, I see the same problems (no rendering of html mail, no "mm-" variables), as I do running it from the installed location. What else should I look at?
