re: my gnu-emacs problem posted to:

bug-gnu-emacs@prep.ai.mit.edu



thanks a lot.........

it turned out to be my fault as i was trying to make 
the '.54 release work while the proper release to use 
is the '.55 release.

in my initial attempt i grabbed the wrong (old) file from 
prep.ai.mit.edu.  

as a partial excuse i should point out that the 
"describe-distribution" on current gnu-emacs systems
points at /u2/emacs/etc/FTP on prep as containing a pointer 
to the latest release.  i find this not to be the case....

the file mentioned in FTP is: /u2/emacs/edist.tar

this file does not exist (so far as i can tell)

so i did a ftp get on: edist.tar-18.54.Z  as this looked to 
be the most likely candidate (remaining ignorant of 
emacs-18.55.tar.Z) which certainly must have appeared on my
"ls" of the emacs directory.


i am happy to say that the '55 release compiled and fired up with 
no problems.  a good way to start the week.
