Generating autoloads for ps-bdf.el...done Generating autoloads for progmodes/ps-mode.el... Generating autoloads for progmodes/ps-mode.el...done Generating autoloads for ps-mule.el... Autoloads file /home/ttn/build/GNU/emacs/lisp/ps-print.el is not writable make[2]: *** [autoloads] Error 255 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/ttn/build/GNU/emacs/lisp' at the time of error, there is not even a single .elc file in the tree, so i surmise that if byte-opt.el is a problem, it is only the tail end of a series of other problems. thus (to rms), i don't think reverting it will be useful. the message "Autoloads file .../ps-print.el is not writable" is strange; the "autoloads file" should be loaddefs.el. sounds like some kind of internal corruption. can you do a fresh cvs update and build using the above steps? i'd like to know if the error i see is reproducible. if not, could you describe what you see? thi
