Are you exporting NNTPSERVER? I.e.

If not, no program will see the variable.
Thank you. Yes, I just got a letter from Dan Sommers, pointing it out
(you must cc the list so that others know the problem has been
resolved). The silly thing is that I've done such exports before, as
a part of debugging a Bison installation, but in the hurry, I did not
immediately recall that. But Gnus now work beautifully, though it is
probably better to make a ".gnus" file with:
(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "<newsserver>"))
(setq gnus-check-new-newsgroups 'ask-server)
