Bingo. That's a clever description of my situation.

Indeed I duplicated my gnus  directory installed for emacs to the xemacs
packages, and byte-recompiled the whole thing.

That's it.

I tried  to reinstall a fresh Gnus  from the configure, but  I have some
problems :  even with  the --with-xemacs the  configure script  keeps on
configuring  for emacs.  The point  is that  I am  under OSX  and XEmacs
executable is actually  within a XEmacs.app bundle. I  have to study how
the configure script is looking for  the executable to tell him where to
look. 

I tried several --xxxdir settings, but i didn't foind the right one yet.

Unless someone with OSX can tell me ?

Thank you for you advices.
