Here is the output from the emacs debugger when GNUS bombs:

Try adding the line "(require 'backquote)" at the beginning
of gnu.el. That works for me.

Thanks to John Robinson at BBN, I found my problem. You must remove the old version of the GNUS .elc and .el files from the lisp directory before installing and byte-compiling the new files. -- Harry Edmon ARPA: harry@rainbow.atmos.washington.edu (206) 543-0547 UUCP: uw-beaver!geops!elnino!harry Department of Atmospheric Sciences BITNET: HARRY@UWARITA University of Washington

The problem is that gnus.el was compiled with *OLD* nntp.elc, so
byte-compiler couldn't know about new macro definitions declared in
*NEW* nntp.el.
There are two ways to byte-compile-file gnus.el safely:
(1) Byte-compile-file nntp.el, nnspool.el and gnus.el in *THIS* order.
or
(2) Remove *.elc (old byte code), and then byte-compile-file them in any order.
