I am currently trying to install the Ada mode for XEmacs from the
Ada-Belgium site on my UNIX system. The installation instructions state the
following:-

Put all these files in your load path and insert 'dot.emacs' into your
personal emacs start up file '.emacs'. For a system-wide installation it is
best to copy the files in the site-lisp directory (usually
/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp) and merge dot.emacs into default.el.

Then they recommend a byte-recompile-directory command.

I am attempting a system-wide installation on XEmacs 19.16, which I have
just installed.

My assumptions from the both above instructions are:

1) Copy all the files extracted from the tar file ( mostly *.el files) into
/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp.
2) Copy all the lines of code from dot.emacs to default.el.
3) Byte-recompile-directory /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp

Unfortunately my assumptions do not work. As when I byte-recompile the
directory, XEmacs informs me that 0 files were compiled.
In addition, I had to create a default.el file and my site-lisp directory
was empty before I copied all the new files over. All my lisp files are
resident in another directory called /usr/local/emacs-19.16/lisp/.

Are my assumptions correct ?

Has anyone else out there ever installed the Ada-mode XEmacs, if so could
you provide me with so more detailed instructions?

Or am I just using the byte-recompile-directory incorrectly or even
compiling the wrong directory?

I would appreciate any help anyone can provide my with.

Cheers,
