At Tue, 2004 Mar 23 17:24 UTC, I removed vc-arch.el and did a CVS update. `vc-arch.el' was copied into my lisp directory. When I tried a configure and bootstrap build, the same error as above was printed.. So I removed the reinstalled `vc-arch.el' and again tried a configure and bootstrap build. This time the message was Loading vc-cvs... Cannot open load file: vc-arch make[2]: *** [autoloads] Error 255 So I ran CVS update again, 17:32 UTC, which only copied vc-arch.el into my lisp directory. Then I ran the configure and bootstrap build again. This time the error message was: Loading vc-cvs... Loading vc-arch (source)... Wrong type argument: stringp, nil make[2]: *** [autoloads] Error 255 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/emacs-test/lisp' make[1]: *** [bootstrap-prepare] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/emacs-test/lisp' make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2 Yesterday and today, the only successful configure and bootstrap build has been with the CVS Emacs of 15 March 2004.
