 sure the way you listed is how it is supposed to be linked?

 I am not questioning whether we need to have the link, the question is:
 what is it supposed to be pointing at? To put another way, the offending
 line is below; what should it be changed to?
 {{{
 system "cd ${destroot}${prefix}/lib && ln -s xemacs-${version} xemacs"
 }}}

 As I wrote before, if you think the current situation is broken, it seems
 it was broken for 21.4.22 also.

 Cheers,

 PS We met on the astronomy ski trip some years ago, not sure if you
 remember me!

 PPS I was working with a file in a C++ Monte Carlo code recently, signed
 "Burkhard Militzer, Urbana 4-1-99"
