Hi, Yes, recreating the directory and appropriate files solves this problem. I had removed /etc/site-lisp directory. After I reinstalled the package (the name escapes me now, but it was related with lisp) which creates this directory, I installed emacs23 again and it worked. So, basically the problem was I had this lisp package installed, but I manually removed /etc/site-lisp and I guess emacs23 assumed the presence of the site-lisp directory and the appropriate files and crashed when it could not find them.
