hello,
     I reinstalled emacs to see if this problem would correct itself to 
no avail.

     when I launch emacs I get warnings about missing items in /usr/pkg/* 
mostly 
having to do w/LISP. seeing as how emacs requires LISP to run I'm kind of 
concerned 
about this. the messages go by fast so I don't get all the details but an 
arch dependent,
an arch independent and four other LISP share files are reported as not 
existing.
     if I run the installer from the Mac OS to install emacs & related 
files, 
do I have to do anything once I get into BSD other than making sure about 
being 
able to see X files (which it obviously can or emacs wouldn't launch at 
all).
     

TIA,
chris f.
