Moin,

I'd like to use /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp as the default path
for local packages to accomodate both emacs and xemacs users (and make
it possible to add ports of auctex, calc, gnus, ... in one place).

make-path (in the xemacs distribution) creates
`/usr/local/lib/xemacs/site-lisp:/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp'
because it's too dumb to understand the colon. OTOH, a comment in the
Makefile seems to indicate that sitelispdir has to be a colon
seperated path.

Anyway. I created /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp by hand. xemacs
doesn't see it. I tried recompiling with the `share/emacs' path; no
such luck. In fact, it seems that xemacs gladly ignores anything but a
few specific directory layouts; explicitly defining lispdir, infodir,
libdir, ... doesn't help.

Does anyone have a patch or even a quick workaround handy we could add
to our port?

tg
