In case you're using the XEmacs shipped with Fedora 7, /usr/lib/xemacs is not 
the correct location for packages for it; it's /usr/share/xemacs.  If you 
prefer to install rpm-packaged Sumos, do "yum install xemacs-packages-extra" 
(or xemacs-packages-base if you want just the minimal set required to use the 
XEmacs package UI).
