Ubuntu, like Debian, uses some munged site-lips/autoload system from what I can gather and installing from source is not that straightforward. I may be wrong and things have changed. Just a heads up on that one and more info can be found in our friend Google. The emacs (22.2.1) with Debian Lenny works fine "out of the box". _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
