schema-dir points to wrong location

[joesmoe10]

the schema-dir variable tries to point to /usr/share/emacs/23.0.60/lisp/nxml/schema

This directory doesn't exist. I think the directory it should be pointing to is /usr/share/emacs/23.0.60/site-lisp/nxml-mode/schema

As a workaround, I simply copied the directory where nxhtml thought it should be.

Thanks for the report, joe.

I am a bit puzzled by this.

- Can you please tell me when your checkout of Emacs 23 (not yet released) from the CVS sources where made?
- Do you have a directory /usr/share/emacs/23.0.60/etc/schema/?

Since you have lisp/nxml it should be the first let that catch schema-dir. I do not understand why this does not work.

- What is exec-directory?
- And if you evaluate (expand-file-name "../etc/schema" exec-directory)

Here ya go.

I installed emacs-snapshot from the Ubuntu repositories so I don't know when
the checkout was.

- Do you have a directory /usr/share/emacs/23.0.60/etc/schema/?
I don't have the /usr/share/emacs/23.0.60/etc/schema directory I only have
/usr/share/emacs/23.0.60/
The only directory I have is i486-linux-gnu, I don't have the etc directory.

- And if you evaluate (expand-file-name "../etc/schema" exec-directory)
"/usr/lib/emacs/23.0.60/etc/schema"

I wonder when your Emacs was checked out from the CVS development sources. Can you please tell me the output from

   M-x version

This bug is fixed in version 1.44 of nXhtml
