discuss was failing miserably for Cat, giving random errors like
"Connection reset by peer" or "Connection timed out" or "Broken pipe"
whenever she would go to a meeting. (It wouldn't actually wait before
a timeout error; "lsm" would produce a nice catalog of these errors in
just a few seconds.) I got /afs/sipb/project/sipb-athena/discuss
(based on a v1.6 source tree from the Athena release) to build for
Linux, and it works, so I installed it in /mit/linux/packages.
I also wrote directions for building discuss in
/afs/sipb/project/sipb-athena/README.
Also, the default.el file we have doesn't put /usr/athena/lib/elisp in
the load path, so Cat was unable to start up discuss with M-x discuss.
I'm confused as to how discuss manages to load on quiche. I'm
inclined to put
(setq load-path (cons "/usr/athena/lib/elisp" load-path))
in the default.el file, like I did for Cat's. I guess I'll do this,
and someone can remove if it they think it's unnecessary.
Comments?
