Good! (You are the first one I know about who uses BBDB on WinXP, though this should not make a difference.)

If that's really what you have, it adds a newline to the path string, which probably you do not want to have. Try instead (in one line) (add-to-list 'load-path "C:/Documents and Settings/carson/Utilities/bbdb/lisp") (and I hope that sending this message via the bbdb mailing list will not add automatically another line break) > However, when I do M-x gnus, I get the error "Symbol's function > definition is void: bbdb-insinuate-gnus" in the minibuffer. If the above path string is wrong, emacs cannot find the bbdb code so that you get errors like this one. - Check with C-h v (`describe-variable') that `load-path' contains your location of the bbdb code. But looking at this once more it appears to me that if I was correct, your error message should refer to bbdb-initialize instead of bbdb-insinuate-gnus. So you also might want to check that your "hand-made" bbdb-autoloads.el contains an entry for bbdb-insinuate-gnus.

My setup is
(require 'bbdb)
(require 'bbdb-autoloads)
(add-hook 'gnus-startup-hook 'bbdb-insinuate-gnus 'bbdb-insinuate-message)
(bbdb-initialize 'gnus 'message)
Slight variation here, not sure which is more "correct", and without any
further consideration of obsoleteness, this setup works. On BBDB 3.02
that is.

For what it's worth, I don't use that function either.

Removing this line doesn't change anything; I get the same error.

Adding the last line you have here gives me an error also. Running
emacs --debug-init gives me
-=-=-=-
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function bbdb-mua-auto-update-init)
(bbdb-mua-auto-update-init (quote gnus) (quote message))
eval-buffer(# nil "c:/Documents and
Settings/carson/Application Data/.emacs" nil t) ; Reading at buffer position
578
load-with-code-conversion("c:/Documents and Settings/carson/Application
Data/.emacs" "c:/Documents and Settings/carson/Application Data/.emacs" t t)
load("~/.emacs" t t)
#[nil "\205\264
-=-=-=-
I'm not sure what that means. I'm going to try updating to the latest
in the git repository and see if that fixes things (when I started
trying to get this working this morning, I thought I had a fairly recent
checkout, but it actually seems to be from about a month ago).

setting up BBDB 3 with Gnus on WinXP
I hope this is the right list; there didn't seem to be a different one listed on Savannah. I should say that I'm fairly new to Emacs and Gnus, and completely new to BBDB, so I don't have any experience with old BBDB versions to guide me. I'm trying to set up BBDB 3 to work with Gnus. I'm using Emacs 23.3.1 on Windows XP. I know the manual at http://bbdb.sourceforge.net/bbdb.html is for version 2, but there doesn't seem to be anything newer. Based on this manual, I've added to ~/.emacs the following: -=-=-=-=- (add-to-list 'load-path "C:/Documents and Settings/carson/Utilities/bbdb/lisp") (require 'bbdb) (bbdb-initialize 'gnus 'message) (add-hook 'gnus-startup-hook 'bbdb-insinuate-gnus) -=-=-=-=- Since I don't have development tools on this computer, I've also created manually the file bbdb-autoloads.el based on the Makefile: -=-=-=-=- (provide 'bbdb-autoloads) (if (and load-file-name (file-name-directory load-file-name)) (add-to-list 'load-path (file-name-directory load-file-name))) -=-=-=-=- However, when I do M-x gnus, I get the error "Symbol's function definition is void: bbdb-insinuate-gnus" in the minibuffer. Obviously, I'm doing something wrong.
