I tried to install the World Wide Web browser called 'w3'. This
browser is an emacs-mode that is enabled by a number of emacs-lisp
files. All the w3 files and the 'extra' files mentioned in the
distribution compiled without error. After compiling and installing, I
invoked w3 and tried to connect to a URL. w3 loaded without error but
the connection failed after 5 tries:

-- begin error --
**************************************
ERROR - COULD NOT ESTABLISH CONNECTION
**************************************

The browser could not establish a connection to inept.scubed.com:8001.

The server is either down, or the
URL(http://inept.scubed.com:8001/tax/tax.html) is malformed.
-- end error --

I know the URL is correct and running since I can reach it using
xmosaic. I get the same error with other URL. I also get an error on
exiting emacs:

Invalid function: (w3-kill-emacs-func)

Any suggestions? I'm using emacs v18.57xx.
