Something that has been bothering me for quite a while: someone went through the trouble of making a /usr/local/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/ directory, but then when I use XEmacs' built in package updating I overwrite the packages that Debian installs. This just doesn't seem right. I have found the pui-package-install-dest-dir variable and set it to /usr/local/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/ and XEmacs happily installs packages into that directory. But, and here is the question, how do I get XEmacs to read the installed packages from that directory? When I load XEmacs it does not see any of the packages installed in /usr/local/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/ . Even adding "/usr/local/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/speedbar" (to pick one, there are around 25 installed packages) to my load-path does not make a difference. I have the same problem if I set pui-package-install-dest-dir to /usr/share/xemacs21/site-packages, which is another Debian supplied directory. Does anyone know how to get XEmacs to read packages from either or both of these directories? Many thanks, Omen
