  I can't swear it's really a bug, however it's undocumented and made me
almost mad:

|> (1) Version of Epoch (see the variable epoch::version).

Epoch-4.2 , retrieved by anon ftp from cs.uiuc.edu

|> (2) Platform and operating system (including version of OS).

SunOS 4.1.3 3 sun4m  (super sparc)

|> (3) Compiler.

Sun cc

|> (4) Any nonstandard configuration options.

**** Makefile:
LIBDIR= /net/lib/epoch
BINDIR= /net/bin

**** src/ymakefile: (btw, I think the order is wrong here in the distrib:
libxpm needs libX11)
#ifndef LIB_X11_LIB
#define LIB_X11_LIB LIBXPM -lX11
#endif

**** src/config.h:
#include "config/s-sunos4-1.h"
#include "config/m-sparc.h"
#define DEFINE_CHANGE_FUNCTIONS
#define HAVE_GRAPHIC_ZONES

**** src/config/s-sunos4-1.h: (know I shouldn't have edited it, but the
def of LD_SWITCH_SYSTEM here overrides the one in src/ymakefile.)
#define LD_SWITCH_SYSTEM -e __start -Bstatic -L/net/lib -L/net/lib/X11
#define C_SWITCH_SYSTEM -I/net/include -I/net/include/X11

**********  THE IMPORTANT POINT IS HERE: *****************

**** lisp/site-init.el:
(setq load-path
      (append '("/net/lib/epoch/contrib") load-path))

Problem synopsis:
-----------------
With the line  above in site-init.el, the dumped epoch displays the
following messages on startup:
Warning: lisp library (../epoch-lisp) does not exist.
Warning: lisp library (../lisp) does not exist.

Appending "/net/lib/epoch/contrib" AT THE END of load-path (rather than
in front of it) fixes the problem.
