Good advice.  Note that I ran into the same trouble when building my
final test binary just prior to putting together the distribution
tarball.

Check the value of package-path.  If the value is something like:

("NONE/lib/xemacs/packages" "~/.xemacs")

then it means I probably screwed up the patch.  The package_path
patch that was posted last week doesn't quite work right ($prefix
comes out as NONE by default) and I made an emergency fix at the very
last second.

The critical part of configure.in should look like:

dnl The following gives NONE/lib/xemacs/packages as the first package
dnl package_path=${prefix}/lib/xemacs/packages:~/.xemacs
