Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list, and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group. In GNU Emacs 21.2.2 (sparc-sun-solaris2.6, X toolkit) of 2003-02-19 on chase configured using `configure --prefix=/usr/local' Important settings: value of $LC_ALL: nil value of $LC_COLLATE: nil value of $LC_CTYPE: nil value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil value of $LC_MONETARY: nil value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil value of $LC_TIME: nil value of $LANG: nil locale-coding-system: nil default-enable-multibyte-characters: t Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: When starting a newly installed emacs-21.2 on SunOS 5.6, users were unable to process their .emacs files, obtaining error messages, for instance, for the line (global-font-lock-mode t) I suspect this was because of name conflicts with code loaded from /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp which existed prior to the installation of the updated version. In src/epaths.h, changing the ordering of directories in the path: define PATH_LOADSEARCH "/usr/local/share/emacs/21.2/site-lisp:/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp:/usr/local/share/emacs/21.2/leim:/usr/local/share/emacs/21.2/lisp" to #define PATH_LOADSEARCH "/usr/local/share/emacs/21.2/lisp:/usr/local/share/emacs/21.2/site-lisp:/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp" SEEMS to fix things. The latter would seem the appropriate default? Recent input: M-x m e n m o d e Recent messages: (emacs -q) Loading tooltip...done For information about the GNU Project and its goals, type C-h C-p.
