Re: [Axiom-developer] Unsuccessful build-improvements

The build still fails. That was not the right workaround.

Maybe to help finding the right workaround, I should tell you about my 
directory setup.

I usually use XEMACS, so my configuration files are in ~/.xemacs.

There is, however a ~/.emacs file that starts with the line

(setq load-path (append '("~/pub/elisp" "~/pub/elisp/emacs/mmm-mode") 
load-path))

and I nowhere else change the load-path.

woodpecker:~>ls -l .xemacs

lrwxrwxrwx 1 hemmecke hemmecke     31 2005-01-21 18:38 custom.el -> 
/home/hemmecke/config/custom.el

HOME/config

woodpecker:~>ls -l HOME
lrwxrwxrwx 1 hemmecke hemmecke 14 2006-11-05 00:55 HOME -> SVK/HOME/trunk

No symlink after that anymore.

woodpecker:~>ls -l HOME/config |grep emacs
-rw------- 1 hemmecke hemmecke   276 2006-11-05 00:21 emacs

Clearly, that is not a directory.

I must say, it would be interesting to understand, why the GCL configure 
script is able at all to find /home/hemmecke/config.

| Greetings!  /home/.../config/emacs is erroneously picked up as the
| emacs site-lisp directory:

I am still not able to understand how GCL finds /home/hemmecke/config.

It is *not* in my (x-)emacs load-path. It was, however, in my $PATH.
Why should that matter for installing .el files???

Now I removed /home/hemmecke/config from my PATH environment variable 
and the build of build-improvements -r700 got after that error described 
here (still compiling).

Does that help someone to figure out where that bug lies?
