Hi Per,
This is the cost of living on the bleeding edge. ;-)
In my code (e.g. help-fns+.el), I don't yet support Emacs 23, which is still
unstable and not yet released.
To the extent I have time, however, I try to adapt my code to changes I notice
in Emacs 23. I don't yet have a Windows binary for any changes that were made on
9/01, and I probably won't have such until next month (thanks, Lennart!). And
Savannah seems to be down currently
(
savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/emacs/emacs/lisp/), so I can't get to the
latest source code.
I've replaced `describe-simplify-lib-file-name' with
`find-lisp-object-file-name' if it's available. Dunno if that will suffice here.
Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for your report. Let me know if this
change does the trick.
