Description of problem: display line number and colunm number do not work Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Use Xemacs Steps to Reproduce: 1.open a file in Xemacs 2.edit init.el 3. add (require 'linum ) 4. save and recompile Actual results: error message about linum.el not found Expected results: show line and colunm nunbers Additional info: linum.elv is not included within xemacs/lisp dir it is in /usr/share/emacs/lisp dir. but providing a symbolic link did not work either, produced a different error message.
This is not a bug. Emacs and XEmacs are simply different editors with different sets of provided files. The functionality you are looking for is partially provided by setnu.el in XEmacs. That does line numbers. I don't know of any package that displays column numbers. You might try sending email to xemacs-beta with that question. Linking elisp files from one editor to the other is unlikely to be successful unless the file in question was deliberately written to be usable by both. Even then, you have to be careful to share only the Elisp source and not the byte code, which is incompatible between the two editors.
