Thanks for pointing me to it. It'd be a good thing to have some pointers to various old versions on the site, where people could find them. However, it doesn't make or make install with the Emacs 21.4.1 install on my web host (engl.dreamhost.com, to be explicit; running Linux). First, I get errors that defvaralias isn't defined. Most of the references seem to be testing for it first, but one isn't. Figured that out later, but went through and commented out all of them. Then it doesn't find sha1.el. I went out and found a copy of sha1.el and put it somewhere in my loadpath. And now it's doing this: [engl]$ make emacs -batch -q -no-site-file -eval "(setq load-path (cons (expand-file-name \"./lisp/\") (\ cons \"~//share/emacs/21.4/site-lisp\" load-path)))" -f batch-byte-compil= e lisp/org-feed.el Loading /usr/lib/emacs/21.4/x86_64-linux-gnu/fns-21.4.1-x.el (source)... While compiling toplevel forms in file /home/ddbweb/src/org-6.36c/lisp/org-feed.el: !! error (("Variable binding depth exceeds max-specpdl-size")) Done make: *** [lisp/org-feed.elc] Error 1 And this one I'm not seeing a quick way past. So...doesn't look like 6.36c actually works on an emacs 21.4.1 install, though of course this install might be quirky. Any suggestions on how to proceed? Either fixing this problem, or a different version to try? --=20 David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b@dd-b.net; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info
