This may just be a problem with some external package, or with
`update-directory-autoloads', which uses `source-directory' to
determine the autoloads file, which it shouldn't do if the function
is to be used outside of the Emacs build process.
In his case, the directory in source-directory does not exist because
the binary is not run on the machine that Emacs was compiled on.

Subject: [Aquamacs-devel] batch-update-autoloads problem
Reply-To: Development of Aquamacs Emacs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I am trying to install a package (LiveJournal emacs client) that calls
upon `batch-update-autoloads' to generate the package specific
autoloads. However, it bails out with the error below.
For the experiment, I have first set this:
(setq generated-autoload-file "ljupdate.el"
command-line-args-left '("."))
but as witnessed by the error below, it talks about an ljupdate.el
inside of "/Users/dr" which I would guess refers to Davids
userid. There is no abvious setting inside of autoload.el itself
reflecting the problem.
Changing the value of `generated-autoload-file' to an absolute path
circumvented the problem but this is not how the makefile in question
was written, so I think this should be fixed.
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Opening output file"
"no such file or directory" "/Users/dr/Aquamacs/emacs/lisp/
ljupdate.el")
