With locate (or find) you can find all instances of "emacs" and also =20 "emacs-23.2" and "emacs-24.0.50" and remove them. The same for the =20 version sub-directories "23.2" and "24.0.50" in /usr/local/libexec/=20 emacs and /usr/local/share/emacs. You can launch that "emacs" binary in your PATH and choose from the =20 Help menu "Send Bug Report=85" or type M-x report-emacs-bug RET. In the =20= *unsent mail to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org* buffer you'll find a text =20 describing where and how this "emacs" was built. Finally you can use the trace utilities to see which files and =20 directories these "emacs" executable files open. -- Greetings Pete How many Microsoft engineers does it take to screw in a light-bulb? None. They just redefine "dark" as the new standard.
