Hi,

I have problem getting emacs work properly.  I have just installed emacs on
my home directory on a FreeBSD host.
I could start up Emacs and couldn't do anything else afterwards.

Here are the errors/warnings:

Warning: arch-dependent data dir (/usr/local/libexec/emacs/21.4/i386-
unknown-freebsd5.4/)  does not exist.
Warning: Lisp directory `/usr/local/share/emacs/21.4/site-lisp' does not
exist.
Warning: Lisp directory `/usr/local/share/emacs/21.4/leim' does not exist.
Warning: Lisp directory `/usr/local/share/emacs/21.4/lisp' does not exist.

I was trying to add

~/libexec/emacs/21.4/i386-unknown-freebsd5.4
~/share/emacs/21.4/site-lisp
~/share/emacs/21.4/lisp
~/share/emacs/21.4/leim

but am not sure where and how to do it.  Also not sure this would solve my
problem.

Thanks,
Isarin

Did you configure with --prefix=${HOME} or such? This should move the  
whole installation into ~/bin, ~/libexec, and ~/share -- and ~/man  
and ~/info too!
