Hi,
Two eyes are always better than one ...
I had the same problem (Sun Solaris, XEmacs 20.3) and had it solved by adding the
following lines to .xemacs-options (BTW, it is read by xemacs only so you don't
need any logic like "if this is XEmacs ..." - I have no enough knowledge of elisp
either):
;;--lmd: Paul Kinnucan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 's JDE http://sunsite.auc.dk/jde/
;; since xEmacs does not define it (as opposed to Paul's favorite emacs :-)
(setq system-name "localhost")
"localhost" was just to have something in it. I don't know if it's meaningful.
Now having learned from you about xemacs function system-name ... you guessed, I
changed the above lines as follows:
;;--lmd: Paul Kinnucan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 's JDE http://sunsite.auc.dk/jde/
;; since xEmacs does not define it (as opposed to Paul's favorite emacs :-)
;;(setq system-name "localhost")
(setq system-name (system-name))
and it works ! :-)
As I said in the beginning ... even if teir "lisp is far to limited ..." :-)
Have fun
