XEmacs happens to be one of my favorite text editors and I really want to install it. The problem is that I usually install all the bells and whistles without a problem. In this case I'd be willing to leave something out but I don't know which item or items is causing the problem. I'm not used to tracking down install bugs because most things I install just work, so I need some help here.
