By setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH, the emacs binary on Y launches ok on X, but then exits with these errors: Warning: arch-dependent data dir (/usr/local/libexec/emacs/21.3/i686-pc-linux-gnu/) does not exist. Warning: arch-independent data dir (/usr/local/share/emacs/21.3/etc/) does not exist. Warning: Lisp directory `/usr/local/share/emacs/21.3/site-lisp' does not exist. Warning: Lisp directory `/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp' does not exist. Warning: Lisp directory `/usr/local/share/emacs/21.3/leim' does not exist. Warning: Lisp directory `/usr/local/share/emacs/21.3/lisp' does not exist. Cannot open load file: term/x-win If I use softlink the missing paths above to machine Y's paths, then emacs starts normally. I want to avoid the softlink on machine X. Are there environment variables to tell emacs where to find the data and lisp dirs? Thanks. -kin
