Hello all,
I have defined the following:
(setq gnus-home-directory "~/Dropbox/gnus")
(setq gnus-directory "~/Dropbox/gnus/News")
(setq message-directory "~/Dropbox/gnus/Mail")
and so my init Gnus file is at ~/Dropbox/gnus/.gnus. When loading
org-mode just pulled from git, after M-x gnus I get the message that the
nntp server cannot be loaded, then after C-h v org-init-file, I get that
this variable points to ~/.gnus, which does not exist in my setup. This
is Gnus 5.13. However, I do not have any problems with org 7.3.
I would appreciate any advice on how to make this work! Thanks.
Rafael

You mean gnus-init-file? Try customising it appropriately. Gnus kind of does
its own thing ....

Thanks for your answer, Richard. Yes, I meant gnus-init-file :). I also
tried (setq gnus-init-fine "~/Dropbox/gnus/.gnus"). But then Gnus starts
downloading the list of newsgroups in the server, presumably because it
cannot find the other files where the suscribed groups are indicated.
I guess I could set some other variables and make it work somehow, but I
would always live in fear that there is still some other variable that
has to be tweaked and my setup would end up in a mess.. Besides, as I
mentioned, org 7.3 works just fine, but I would like to try the latest
and greatest features mentioned in this list.

I see now that org-mode 7.4 is OK too. Something odd about recent
versions (pulled from git) is that gnus-init-file is defined just after
Emacs starts (and points, incorrectly for me, to ~/.gnus). However, with
org 7.4., I have to run M-x gnus to have gnus-init-file defined, and
with value ~/Dropbox/gnus/.gnus, as desired.
