Hmm, compile-reinitialize-errors is not available in recent Emacs 
versions anymore.  So lmcompile-do-highlight in the code above gets 
never called, right?  The functionality which lmcompile-do-highlight 
provided was to highlight the respective lines in the buffers which are 
referred to by the errors in the compilation window.  Without 
lmcompile-do-highlight this is not done automatically, even not in 
recent Emacsens.

Did I misunderstood you?

Kind regards,
Markus
