The current CVS snapshot is missing the mh-*.el files, which
Gnus requires.
Today's CVS snapshot, Tue, 2003 Jan 28 13:43 UTC
GNU Emacs 21.3.50.104 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit)
fails to bootstrap:
gcc=gcc-3.2 ./configure --with-type1 --prefix=/usr/local \
--with-sound=yes && gcc=gcc-3.2 time make bootstrap
and reports this error:
Compiling /usr/local/src/emacs/lisp/gnus/gnus-mh.el
In toplevel form:
gnus/gnus-mh.el:37:1:Error: Cannot open load file: mh-e
make[1]: *** [compile] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/emacs/lisp'
Indeed, mh-e.el is missing from the
emacs/lisp/mail/
directory, as are the other mh-*.el files.
I copied the old files from emacs/21.2.50/lisp/mail/mh-*.el to my CVS
directory and was able to build and install Emacs without reported
error.

They have moved to a new directory. Use "cvs update -d" to fetch the
new directory.
(I always use "cvs update -dP", to also purge empty directories.)

Thank you. I did that and it has built and installed without reported
error.
My mistake. I just noticed that I ran the PCL-CVS command `cvs-update'
with nil as a second argument rather than t. With t, `cvs-update'
uses `cvs-update-flags' and does the right thing.

Robert,
I feel badly about having taken up your time. As Kai mentioned, I did
move the files into their own directory. I did send a couple of warnings
to use "cvs up -d" to this list. Is there anything else I can do to
get the word out?

Robert,

Thank you for your concern. It was my mistake: I was evaluating
(cvs-update "/usr/local/src/emacs/" t)
with a nil instead of a t and so PCL-CVS did not prune the old and add
the new directory. I erroneously thought PCL-CVS would do the right
thing, and did not expect the expression to be the problem. But it
was.
I don't think you could have done any better.
