Hi,all
Because I wanna leave mails on server after I have downloaded them
through POP, I downloaded ep3m-098.zip from GNU's website.
According to the commentary in epop3mail.el, I installed elib and
then copy epop3mail.el, biff-mode.el, epop3hash.el and a patched pop3.el
to my emacs directory, ie, /usr/share/emacs/21.2/lisp/gnus/
But when I byte-compile epop3mail.el, a error occured:
Variable binding depth exceeds max-specpdl-size
I have try to setq max-specpdl-size to a larger value, but it doesn't
work and result in a different error:
Lisp nesting exceeds `max-lisp-eval-depth
I'm a newbie to elisp, so I have to post this article here. Can you
help me with this problem?
Thanks.

That's not a good directory. Is there a directory
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp? Choose that. Type C-h v load-path RET
for a more comprehensive list of candidate directories.
The reason the above is not a good directory is the fact that the
directory will be gone when you upgrade Emacs. And so you'd have to
install the files again.

Try increasing max-lisp-eval-depth, too. Only if raising both to
real large values doesn't help, then there is a real problem.
