It is actually the .elc there what is loaded, but that should make no difference > This links to a emacs version from 2007 that is unfortunately not > completely compatible with xemacs.

The 2007 version is the one from emacs cvs patched to work with xemacs21 and emacs21. While I tried to find all problems seems that some of them got missed (e.g., #458806). > The symptoms of the incompatibility that I see are that flyspell-mode > is no longer a minor mode.

I can confirm this, but looking at the code, 2007 flyspell.el uses (easy-mmode) define-minor-mode which, according to the documentation should preserve the buffer-local character of the mode unless explicitly asked otherwise. I will try to look at easy-mmode, in case I am missing something there. Of course, since I am not fully familiar with the xemacs internals, help is more than welcome. > Please either remove the symlinks, or make this version work in > xemacs, and get the xemacs21-basesupport maintainer to remove their > version of flyspell. I am largely for making the version work everywhere if possible. While I can always wrap the old definition into a huge (if (featurep 'xemacs) ... ) I would prefer a cleaner fix. Thanks for your report. Feel free to provide more feedback. -- Agustin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
