Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 38464
Emacs's mh-e package doesn't work
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:32:55 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2smp i686) If I try to use mh-e, it complains that it can't find 'inc' or 'mhl'. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run emacs. 2. Type "M-X mh-rmail". Actual Results: "Can't find 'inc' or 'mhl'." Expected Results: Should start up mh-e. I tried to get the latest version of mh-e from SourceForge, but the version I got from there had the same problem that exists in the Red Hat release. Eventually I found version 5.0.2 of mh-e as a tarball at http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh/mh-e/ and this version works fine.
Works here. Do you have nmh installed?
Closed - lack of feedback, and it works here.
Well, yes, I have (and had) nmh installed. If I didn't, version 5.0.2 of mh-e wouldn't have worked for me. The problem was that for various important reasons that I won't go into, I have nmh installed in a non-standard place. Earlier versions of mh-e were quite able to cope with this. They'd find "inc" in the PATH environment variable and figure out the rest. The latest version of mh-e on SourceForge (version 5.0.92) is also able to cope with non-standard nmh placement without problem. For reasons unknown to me, however, there are some versions of mh-e inbetween versions 5.0.2 and 5.0.92 (including the version that comes with Red Hat 7.1 and 7.2) that can't cope easily with nmh being installed in a non-standard place.
