[emacs-wiki-discuss] missing defvaralias

[largo-linux]

i tried to find help on gnus.emacs.help... in the end someone said i should try
here.  

i am using fedora core 4 emacs 21.4 (i.e. GNU Emacs 21.4.1
(i386-redhat-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2005-05-18 on
decompose.build.redhat.com ) and after installing emacs-wiki-mode i tried to
install journal.el and i makes use of the function defvaralias...  but my
version of gnus emacs does not have this function.  

i get this error after trying to (require 'journal)

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function defvaralias)
(defvaralias (quote journal-default-page) (quote
emacs-wiki-default-page))
eval-buffer(#<buffer  *load*> nil "journal" nil t)
load-with-code-conversion("/scratch/emacs-wiki-2.70/journal.el"
"journal" nil t)
require(journal)
eval((require (quote journal)))
eval-last-sexp-1(nil)
eval-last-sexp(nil)
* call-interactively(eval-last-sexp)

C-h f defvaralias yields no entry...

i'd like to know how to get defvaralias or find a workaround for the following
statement in journal.el

(defvaralias 'journal-default-page 'emacs-wiki-default-page) 

any help greatly appreciated.
