When I select a news group, it bombs with a "illegal function" error. The problem seems to be in nntp-header-number, but since I am a novice emacs hacker, I'm not sure what the problem is. I've got the same problem but byte-compiling first nntp.el, then nnspool.el and as the last file gnus.el in a fresh gnu-emacs with no files in any buffer and no files loaded has helped. I think when I first tried to compile I'd loaded some of the gnus files before and at least gnus.el was read into an edit buffer. kurt -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- UUCP: ...!uunet!unido!sbsvax!ks | Kurt Schreiner | or ks@sbsvax.UUCP | Universitaet des Saarlandes | CSNET: ks%sbsvax.uucp@Germany.CSnet | FB 10 - Informatik (Dept. of CS) | ARPA: ks%sbsvax.uucp@uunet.UU.NET | Bau 36, Im Stadtwald 15 | Phone: +49 681 302 2596 | D-6600 Saarbruecken 11, West Germany | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
