problems with build/install/packages/paths on GNU/OpenSolaris

[zooko]

Folks:

I just built XEmacs 21.5.28 on GNU/OpenSolaris (Nexenta).  I hit the  
problem and used the fix described herein:

http://calypso.tux.org/pipermail/xemacs-beta/2007-July/011615.html

Now I think I have a problem with packages or with lisp paths.  I  
tried to use efs to get packages, by executing M-x package-get-all  
(or any other "package-get-" function), then it says "Symbol's value  
as variable is void: allow-remote-paths".

One wrinkle is that I configured it with "./configure --prefix=/usr/ 
local/stow/xemacs-21.5.28", and then later ran "cd /usr/local/stow &&  
sudo stow -v xemacs-21.5.28", which means that the path by which  
xemacs is being launched is /usr/local/bin/xemacs, which is a symlink  
to /usr/local/stow/xemacs-21.5.28/bin/xemacs.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Regards,

Zooko
