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?

Comment 2 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2001-05-14 10:43:27 EDT

Closed - lack of feedback, and it works here.

Comment 3 nessus 2001-12-13 19:35:39 EST

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.
