The problem seems to be that /usr/share/emacs21/site-lisp/nxml-mode/ or /usr/share/emacs-snapshot/site-lisp/nxml-mode/
contains the compiled version of the .el files from the nxml-mode directory, but not those from its subdirectories. A workaround is to comment out the following lines (debian-pkg-add-load-path-item (concat "/usr/share/" (symbol-name flavor) "/site-lisp/nxml-mode")) from the /etc/emacs*/site-start.d/60nxml-mode.el files. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
