I also updated my cygwin to DLL 1.5.7-1 release. When I try to start xemacs I get the following > xemacs WARNING: Couldn't find an obvious default for the root of the XEmacs hierarchy. Then xemacs hangs for a minute or so and then the bash prompt returns. I then realized that xemacs wanted an xserver, when I started one up, it started, with the same warning. The documentation on this mailing list indicated that xemacs wouldn't need or use X if the server wasn't running. Seems as though packages can be found if running under X. Larrabee -- L.
