I missed the start of the thread, so I might be misisng valuable information. Both Debian and Ubuntu have a w3m-el-snapshot package that contains the latest development snapshot of w3m-el. It works without error under emacs 23 (including CVS versions aka 23.2). For those not running a distro with a dev snapshot package of w3m-el, building form the latest version should work fine with emacs 23. Tim -- tcross (at) rapttech dot com dot au
