The Gnus in Ubuntu is not byte-compiled for the emacs22 package, so Emacs will use the one that comes with Emacs which may lack some feature that you want in your .gnus.el. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnus/+bug/133621. > Does anyone have Gnus running with Emacs22 on Ubuntu? > > I removed Emacs22 and installed Emacs21 and Gnus is usable (it is what > I'm using now to post this article), but doesn't seem quite right". Forget about the Gnus that comes with Ubuntu, it is completely unmaintained, very outdated and lacks documentation (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnus/+bug/227925). See http://gnus.org/distribution.html how to get a newer version.
