can simply say "./configure && make" in this directory. If you are
using XEmacs, you *must* say "make EMACS=xemacs". In that case you
may also want to pull down the package of nice glyphs from
-<URL:http://www.gnus.org/etc.tar.gz>. It should be installed
+<URL:http://www.gnus.org/dist/etc.tar.gz>. It should be installed
into the "gnus-5.6.53/etc" directory.
Then you have to tell Emacs where Gnus is. You might put something
(setq Info-default-directory-list
(cons "~/gnus-5.6.53/texi" Info-default-directory-list))
+or
+
+ (setq Info-directory-list
+ (cons "~/gnus-5.6.53/texi" Info-directory-list))
+
+depending on which version of Emacs or XEmacs you're using.

Note that Gnus and GNUS can't coexist in a single Emacs. They both use
the same function and variable names. If you have been running GNUS
in your Emacs, you should probably exit that Emacs and start a new one
to fire up Gnus.
-Gnus does absolutely not work with anything older than Emacs 19.33 or
-XEmacs 19.14. So you definitely need a new Emacs.
+Gnus does absolutely not work with anything older than Emacs 20.3 or
+XEmacs 20.0. So you definitely need a new Emacs.
Then you do a `M-x gnus', and everything should... uhm... it should
work, but it might not. Set `debug-on-error' to t, and mail me the
