I am getting an Xemacs error when it starts up. I
placed Xemacs in a non-standard location, and setup some environment
variables. It seems to know where HOME is. I have also unloaded the
packages into a sub-directory where the EXE file resides. I placed
binaries in the directory – all are version 21.4.19. I did not
install using the Xemacs installation tool, because security measures at the
bank (Bank of America) prevent such an installation. I also tried to find
information at xemacs.org regarding the correct directory structure and any
Windows registry entries that I may need to set – to no avail. My
help desk said that I should email you.
I want to customize Xemacs further for the ess package, so I
need to get this working to use it effectively.
Xemacs seems to work – I can edit files OK. But
the graphic menu at the top looks scrunched-up like this, which is another tell-tale
error:
Here is the error, which appears in a DOS window:
WARNING: Couldn't find an
obvious default for the root of the XEmacs hierarchy.
WARNING: Couldn't find
obvious defaults for:
load-path
doc-directory
data-directory
exec-directory
lisp-directory
Perhaps some directories don't
exist, or the XEmacs executable,
C:\Documents and
Settings\NBKLUVA\My Documents\My Programs\xemacs-21.4.19\xemacs.exe
is in a strange place?
Can you please tell me how to fix this?
Thanks,
Phillip
