Please be more specific.  I have now checked _all_ of your mails in
the recent 1000 articles in this list, and the only one appearing
remotely relevant would be
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
where you, however, play around with --with-lispdir and people point
out in the followups that you seem to have ignored the instructions
and are installing from within the XEmacs lisp tree.  No further reply
was made by you and the thread petered out soon.

So please repost the relevant article or at least its Message Id or
restate the problem.  There are millions of ways to change the default
behavior of packagedir, and it is pretty hard to guess for at best
occasional XEmacs users which of those you would call wrong.
