Instead of trying to install packages manually, do the following.
(1) Start up XEmacs.  I assume you have a version 21.4 XEmacs.  If that
    is not true, these instructions will have to be modified slightly.
(2) On the menubar, choose Tools -> Packages -> Set Download Site ->
    Official Releases, then browse for a site near you.
(3) On the menubar, choose Tools -> Packages -> List and Install
(4) Find the line corresponding to the vhdl package and press Return to
    mark it
(5) Press the x key to download and install the package.

If you have any trouble, write back and let us know.

Regards,
