The `59 Temple Place' zipcode is now correct. My earlier report was based on a damaged set of sources. Please ignore it. Since I had new sources, I could configure and bootstrap build with a completely fresh CVS Emacs. The good news is that the bootstrap mostly worked. The bad news is that the bootstrap failed once. One bug appeared when I used this command: (progn (cd "/usr/local/src/emacs/") (compile "./configure --with-type1 \ --with-x-toolkit=gtk \ --prefix=/usr/local --with-sound=yes \ && time make bootstrap")) During the build, compilation halted and I was asked to "Enter longitude (decimal fraction; + east, - west): " which is a prompt from emacs/lisp/calendar/solar.el However, I could not enter that information into the *compilation* buffer, since it is read-only. So I prepended my location to `emacs/lisp/calendar/solar.el' using `setq calendar-latitude' and `setq calendar-longitude' expression. The next bootstrap build, which took two hours, then reported no errors. Perhaps `calendar-latitude' and `calendar-longitude' should be set to 0.0 rather than nil by defcustom. (I have done that, but tested it only with a `make recompile', since I do not want to do a bootstrap again.) -- Robert J.
