Loading executable...done custom-initialize-reset: Symbol's value as variable is void: message-valid-fqdn-regexp I'm running: emacs-version's value is "21.3.1" gnus-version's value is "Gnus v5.10.6" I'm running the newest version of gnus. To make emacs run it I delete previous version of grus from `load-path'. then I set up new path: Loading /root/emacs/.emacs.gnus.el (source)... deleting gnus path from load-path... deleting path: /usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/gnus from load-path ;;; old path is removed at emacs startup Loading /root/emacs/.emacs.gnus.el (source)...done Code that does this trick is the following: (setq my-gnus-dir "/root/emacs-packages/gnus-5.10.6") (message "deleting gnus path from load-path..." (buffer-name)) (dolist (load-path-entry load-path) (if (string-match "gnus" load-path-entry) (progn (message "deleting path: %s from load-path" load-path-entry) (setq load-path (delete load-path-entry load-path))))) (setq load-path (cons (concat my-gnus-dir "/lisp") load-path)) (require 'gnus-load) (require 'info) (setq Info-directory-list (cons (concat my-gnus-dir "/texi") Info-default-directory-list)) finally, load-path's value is ("/root/emacs-packages/gnus-5.10.6/lisp" "/root/emacs-packages/vm-7.19" "/root/emacs-packages/bbdb-2.34/lisp" "/usr/share/emacs/21.3/site-lisp" "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp" "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/Mule-UCS" "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/psgml" "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.d" "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/table" "/usr/share/emacs/21.3/leim" "/usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp" "/usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/toolbar" "/usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/textmodes" "/usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/progmodes" "/usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/play" "/usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/obsolete" "/usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/net" "/usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/mail" "/usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/language" "/usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/international" "/usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/eshell" "/usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/emulation" "/usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/emacs-lisp" "/usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/calendar" "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/psg ml") Do You know what might be the reason of that ?
