Date: 2 Oct 1996 02:07:09 GMT Organization: What? Me, organize? Lines: 28 Message-ID: <52siod$47q@uuneo.neosoft.com> Reply-To: conrads@neosoft.com (Conrad Sabatier) NNTP-Posting-Host: 206.27.165.172 OK, a while back I inquired about a missing lib file in xemacs. Jordan told me it was a screwup in the make of the version on the 2.1.5 CD, and to download it from the ftp site. Did that (from packages-current, and later again from packages-2.1.5). Now, I can't even get the sucker to install! Getting tons of error messages about "such-and-such file doesn't really exist". I can't figure it. I'm about 99.99% sure I got a good download both times. It unpacked OK and everything. Oh, I also saw a message about a bad packing list. What's really strange is that, on multiple attempts to install, I get different behavior during the process. Sometimes the endless non-existent file messages. Other times, something about a file the pkg manager is trying to delete not existing. Weird. Could somebody *please* help me figure out what's going on here? I'd *really* like to get this thing up and running.
