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. Can somebody point me in the right direction? -- BlackBerryreg; DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA Learn about the latest advances in developing for the BlackBerryreg; mobile platform with sessions, labs more.

Based on this manual, I've added to ~/.emacs the following: -=-=-=-=- (add-to-list 'load-path C:/Documents and Settings/carson/Utilities/bbdb/lisp) The above looks odd to me. 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.
