I've posted this on comp.emacs.xemacs but I'll post it here to in case anyone has any insight:
Here's what I did.
1. downloaded and untarred 21.4.22
2. followed instructions here:
http://wiki.tinycorelinux.com/tiki-index.php?page=Creating+Extensions 3. did export EMACSPACKAGEPATH='/usr/local/lib/xemacs/xemacs-
packages'
4. created that directory with owner root:staff and g+w mode (FYI tiny
core default user is 'tc' with staff group)
5. created the same at /usr/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages just in case
6. created ~/.xemacs
7. copied etc/sample.init.el to ~/.xemacs
8. src/xemacs
9. set packages download site to default US site.
10. tried to update package index and get this error:
"Symbol's value as a variable is void: allow-remote-paths"
What is wrong?
