Thanks Stefan. The configure script had asked for various libraries (a toolkit library, four image libraries, and somthing about curses) which I installed for it, but it made no mention of wanting an XML library. But looking back in the details of the configure log, I see that it silently skips other (non-vital?) libraries that it doesn't find. Ted Zlatanov writes: > Run `M-x eww' and see if it works.

Yes, "M-x eww" prompts for an URL then gives the message error in process filter: eww-display-html: This function requires Emacs to be compiled with libxml2 So there it is! I clearly didn't build with the required library. (I wish the Gnus MIME stuff was informative like that, instead of silently failing!) I have now rebuilt, configured thus: Where should the build process find the source code? . What compiler should emacs be built with? gcc -std=gnu99 -g3 -O2 Should Emacs use the GNU version of malloc? yes (Using Doug Lea's new malloc from the GNU C Library.) Should Emacs use a relocating allocator for buffers? no Should Emacs use mmap(2) for buffer allocation? no What window system should Emacs use? x11 What toolkit should Emacs use? GTK3 Where do we find X Windows header files? Standard dirs Where do we find X Windows libraries? Standard dirs Does Emacs use -lXaw3d? no Does Emacs use -lXpm? yes Does Emacs use -ljpeg? yes Does Emacs use -ltiff? yes Does Emacs use a gif library? yes -lgif Does Emacs use -lpng? yes Does Emacs use -lrsvg-2? yes Does Emacs use imagemagick? no Does Emacs support sound? yes Does Emacs use -lgpm? no Does Emacs use -ldbus? yes Does Emacs use -lgconf? yes Does Emacs use GSettings? yes Does Emacs use a file notification library? yes -lgio (gfile) Does Emacs use access control lists? yes -lacl Does Emacs use -lselinux? yes Does Emacs use -lgnutls? yes Does Emacs use -lxml2? yes Does Emacs use -lfreetype? yes Does Emacs use -lm17n-flt? yes Does Emacs use -lotf? yes Does Emacs use -lxft? yes Does Emacs directly use zlib? yes Does Emacs use toolkit scroll bars? yes HTML rendering in Gnus (and from eww) is now working, so unless anyone can see anything glaringly wrong in this list, I think I am all good now. :) [Totally irrelevantly, while writing this post, I am also happy to see that pasting now replaces selection. :)] Out of curiosity, what would imagemagick support give me? Thank you all and best regards, N.
